November Book Reviews
Hi! Sorry, it has been a little quiet here, but I broke up my shoulder on Saturday. I tripped and boy does it hurt. Ouch! I can't do anything! I am not very good at being a patient. I don't like not being able to do stuff for myself or go anywhere. Ok! Enough whining! How are you? Did you have a Happy Thanksgiving?
I finished the Orphan Keeper last week. It is such a good book. This book is based off a true story of a little boy who was kidnapped when he was 8 in India and who was sold to an orphanage than later adopted by an American couple living Colorado. The story hits close to home for me as we have two daughters who are adopted out of China. We have no way of knowing whether our girls were truly abandoned or whether they too were kidnapped. We can only pray that they were abandoned. Today the Hague regulates adoptions and orphanages have to go through certain procedures to prove that the children they are releasing for adoption have no relatives who are willing to care for them. I can't wait to read more stories by this author.
The second book I want to share with you is a book titled Wish me Home by Kay Bratt. It is not my first time reading a book by this author as she is pretty well known in the Chinese adoption community for her book series called the Scavenger's Daughters based on a story about a little old Chinese peddler who finds babies who have been abandoned on the streets of China and raises them as his own. Wish me Home is about a young woman who flees her home in fear that she may have committed a crime and journies to rebuild her life in the Florida Keys because of her love of the writer Ernest Hemingway. The story is about new beginnings, redemption, and love. One of the reasons I liked this book so much was because the plot was not so simple that you guessed the ending before you read the last page.
The next book I want to introduce to you is a book titled Tending Roses by Lisa Wingate. This book was so good I can't wait to read another book by this author. Her writing style is so lovely and so familiar. Reading her book is like talking with my best friend. The story is based on a young woman and her decision to work or not work following the birth of her son while also dealing with the decision on how to best care for her elderly grandmother who is no longer capable of caring for herself. An issue I am dealing with myself at the moment as I need to make decisions in regards to my father who has Alzheimer's. The last book I would like to share is titled Everything I Never Told You written by NG Celeste. The story switches between the time periods of the late 1950s and the late 1970s and is about a young woman who is found dead. The death of a young woman is not the only casualty in the story as her family is left devastated. The book also deals with interracial marriage at this time period. The story will definitely keep you on your toes.
