Here are my thoughts on Francine Rivers' Her Daughter's Dream...I liked it. The first 35 pages were rough and the last 35 were also rough. Well written...rough on the heart. I do feel that the epilogue was balm to my weary soul which I needed after the conclusion of Marta's Legacy.
Enough about books for today. I have bigger news. After eight and a half years of mothering sons, I have (for the first time) extracted something out of a nasal passage. Yes, that's right! Larry held my darling Caleb down on the kitchen island while I used the tweezers to pull a raisin out of the precious little nose. Sweet Baby, it was bound to happen at some point. Thank you, Lord, for helping me learn Caleb's language so completely that I could interpret his distress.

Can't wait to read those books!
And he got the "stick things in nose" thing from you...hide the little people from the LIFE game ;) Love you!
I just finished it this week too... WOW sums it up. Loved it all, but you are right, so much of it was hard on the heart. I cried through a lot of it, but felt like I learned a lot too.
i'm so glad you enjoyed the book, and how
sweet to wait until your friend finished to
tell us about it.
well done on the extraction. now your're
bonafide.
oh........I just read this again. And now I'm not reading them. I won't read books that I know end sadly.
Not happening.
Yes, thank you for waiting to review until I got my hands on it! I keep going back and forth in my opinion of this book but it's sticking with me longer than anything has since Redeeming Love.
I'm glad you were there to interpret Caleb's dilemma. :-) I'm also shocked that he's the first of your boys to stick something up his nose!
Aren't little boys fun? When Austin was about that age, I extracted a blueberry and a jelly bean from his nose--both in the same week. :) Good job, Mom!
