The Reckoning of
Gossamer Pond is a story of
grace. Both Libby Sheffield's journey to grace in the early 1900's
and Annalise Forsythe's in current times were painful but necessary.
They had to learn to forgive themselves for their past mistakes, but
first they had to bring them into the light and face them. This was
made much more difficult by living in a town which was keeping more
than its own share of secrets.
Jaime
Jo Wright has once again demonstrated her prowess in writing time
split novels. The smooth flow with which she transitions between time
periods, and the intricacies with which she ties them together make
her a standout author in this genre. Wright has given her readers
historical romance, contemporary romance and suspense all together in
one delightful package. She has created characters that are
intriguing and that have depth. The reader can easily identify with
the circumstances of their lives and the difficult choices set before
them. Wright puts forth an honest picture of the church with its
beauty that God intended as well as its ugliness caused by our fallen
natures. As was previously stated, this novel is a story of grace.
Who among us doesn't need that?
I
thank NetGalley and Bethany House for providing me with a copy of The
Reckoning of Gossamer Pond in
exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive
review and received no monetary compensation.
