It is a rare occasion for me to stay up through the wee hours of the morning reading a book. These wonderful occasions have typically been reserved for captivating, cliffhanger reads including R. L. Stine, Harry Potter and Twilight. Yet, this wonderful book sale find of 50 cents was read within 4 days time (with only 3 days of actual reading!). I couldn't put it down.
I wasn't even going to purchase this book. It doesn't look like anything special. On the back cover I read one sentence about a healing, and I decided to take a chance. I was mainly impressed because the book was signed and dated by the author...for 50 cents? My nerderific bibliophile self was intrigued.
This memoir was engaging and so interesting! I loved reading every moment of it. I laughed. I cried. I prayed along. I stopped to reflect on my own life.
I honestly believe that I was supposed to read this book. I was surprised to read about her studying at Maryville College in St. Louis (where I received 2 of my own degrees) and her work with special education (which I also do). God spoke to me in a way in this little unassuming book that changed my life.
Read this book.
I will let you borrow my copy.
I plan to share this with all of my friends.
Hmmm... Sounds interesting.
