A Family Forever, by Brenda Coulter - REVIEW

Christian Fiction, release date: February 28

Get it on Amazon.com

I read Brenda's blog daily and I saw her request for "reviewers" and got this book in exchange for reviewing it on my blog. The request was for a review on a weekday so I'm reviewing it tomorrow on my "real" blog.

I've said before that fiction is like "brain candy" when my mind wants to read something I don't have to think about and this book fit the bill. It's not deep and it was a very fast read (I'm a fast reader and I flew through this book in about 3 hours, non-stop) so it exactly fit what I was looking for last night. Yes, I'd recommend it.

The book is filled with Christian values; people fail and recognize their failings. Parts of it reached me deeply and I cried through some of it.

The only down-side is that everything gets wrapped up neatly at the end - life is messy.
