Book Review--October Baby
Now, some of you might be thinking Isn't that a movie?
It is. But it was also written as a book. I got the book as a Christmas Present and I love it!
It goes into a lot more detail than the movie, but both it and the movie have a great message.
Hannah is the only child of loving parents. She is a sophomore in college, and has a lead role in an upcoming play. On the opening night, she collapses just as the play begins. Stunned, her parents finally decide to tell her the details of her birth. She is adopted. And the survivor of a failed abortion.
Bewildered, angry and confused, she turns to her oldest friend, Jason, for support. Hannah joins him and his friends on a road trip, embarking on a trip to discover her past. Along the way, Hannah does find out about her past...and also about her future. She learns that those who truly love her, already accept her as she is. She learns that she does have a purpose in life and that everyone, no matter how they were born, is worth saving and loving. And Every life is Beautiful.

A song and verse for the weekend
Come unto me, all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Book Review--A life of Faith:Kathleen McKenzie. Books 1-2
Hey y'all! I'm really sorry the book review is late again this week.
I totally forgot about it until last night and it was a bit to late to post in then!
We've been having beautiful weather here. A bit cold Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday but up in the 70s today. I've been outside in flip-flops, a short sleeved blouse and cotton skirt. (If you haven't already guessed, My favorite, FAVORITE season is summer!)
Now the review.
Kathleen's Shaken Dream's and Kathleen's Unforgettable Winter, By Tracy Leininger Craven
Kathleen is a city girl through and through. She enjoys school, hanging out with her friends and spelling! After getting injured in a foot race, she meets Lucy. The two girls become inseparable. Suddenly everything changes. The stock market crash of 1929 causes Kathleen's father to lose her her job and forces the family out of their city home.The move to the old family farm is difficult. Kathleen must learn to cope with things she had never even imagined. Milking a cow, riding a horse, shooting a rifle and dealing with a troublesome cousin, are all things Kathleen would rather do without. But she starts to adjust to the change and realizes that as hard as the change has been, it has drawn her closer to God and closer to her family. Just when she is beginning to accept and even enjoy her new life, her father gets a job offer. Kathleen is thrilled! But in the same post Kathleen gets bad new from Lucy. What will this next chapter in her life bring? Will her faith continue to be strengthened? Or will she doubt God's plan for her life?
