Publisher's Summary:
Ava has a loving family, a beautiful house, and a solid faith. Suddenly, her ideal life will be completely broken... in the best of ways.
Avas life is full of great things. Her daughter is getting married to just the right guy, her husbands company has kept them financially thriving for years, her son is a freshman in high school, playing football and doing well, and the ministry she started is keeping her busy as she reaches out to those with "broken hearts".
Then it all falls apart. Avas safe world becomes unanchored, and she is forced to face the childhood shes run away from her entire life. Just as shes trying to sift through the pieces, the doorbell rings and Ava is confronted with the surprise of her life.
Ava must set out on a journey that takes her back home - something Ava hasnt done in 20 years. As she travels across the state of Texas, strangers offer her kindness and remind her of the meaning of hope and forgiveness.
It is in this journey back that Ava discovers God in a new way. She sees she's been hiding her brokenness behind good deeds and a safe life. Learning what it means to lose it all is just the start of Avas journey - as is the new song God is writing on her heart.
Members Reviews:
Enjoyable!
In reading about the characters life experiences as they walk with God, the reader can learn
while enjoying a great novel. I think it would be great to have a sequel to this story!
A more than satisfied reader
Ava's life is full of material blessings, an enviable family. She is a Bible study leader and has organized the women of her church to reach out to the broken-hearted. Ava's world falls apart around her and she realizes she has never told her
children about her early life that is full of many broken-hearted situatins. Ava decides to go back to her chidhood home to heal both the past and the present. She will be returning home with her younger cousin'x baby left on her doorstep. Ava is also troubled that her weeping willow tree is dying, a gift from her brother from their childhood home. The authors' narration of Ava'a trip home is as if they are
telling it just to you. It's reminescent of the readers' own childhood years as told, good or bad, by older relatives. My attention was completely absorbed in
Ava's journey. Ava's own broken heart has a new song at journey's end. And, the
tree has new life.
Couldn't Put This Book Down
This book was powerful and once you read the first page, you'll be hooked. It shows us the things that are important in our lives and how quickly all of these material things in this life can vanish in a breath. The only thing everlasting is God's love and in this book he takes the main charactor and her family through all the trials of financial gain and loss, mistrust, misplaced faith, lies and her chains of painful childhood memories that mold her life and relationships. With growing trust in God, he reveals to her the things of this life and the people that are most important as he shows her how to let go of her pain, her past and to love, live and trust in him and the life he created for her. Awesome!!!
Necessary
