The Hearts We Mend – A
Banister Falls Novel – Kathryn Springer
I broke my
self-imposed rule when reading The Hearts
We Mend. I didn’t read the first
book, The Dandelion Field. However, this time it worked out! I have also never read any other books by
Kathryn Springer, which makes me happy because I really like finding new-to-me
authors whose books I enjoyed!
Evie has
been living with her life on hold for many years. She is a young widow whose son is getting
married and leaving the nest. In walks
Jack, who would seem to be the polar opposite of Evie. Although Evie has Jack stereotyped, she feels
her soul being challenged by how Jack lives his life. Vise-versa is also true. However, on that side, I think Jack believes
he isn’t good enough for her.
What did I think about the
book? Well, I did read a few of the
other reviews while in the middle of this book, and I can’t believe there are
people out there that didn’t thoroughly enjoy this story! I loved how they begin to see the truth of
who they are in Christ. I love how they
let Christ stretch them beyond themselves.
I loved how they broke down culturally built walls. I loved them theme of looking at people for
who they are – not where they are. I
just loved it!
There are
many interesting characters in this story.
Bert, Lily, Dan and Gin all help fill out this wonderful book! I loved this book, and can’t wait for the
next one in the series.
My negative
had nothing to do with the story, but the formatting of this actual book. It skipped from page 216 to page 249! Let me tell you…I struggled! This chapter was set to be a page-turner! I moved on, trying to fill in the blanks…and
there were a bunch because there were many chapters missing. Fortunately, after page 280 the missing
chapters reappeared! So, when you buy
this book check out these pages numbers before you start reading. If you have a mixed up copy, follow my page
instructions listed above!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks Thomas Nelson and Zondervan!
