The Promise of Morning

Someone may have told you how the first book in this series [b:The Edge of Light 4683444 The Edge of Light (At Home in Beldon Grove, #1) Ann Shorey http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266881431s/4683444.jpg 4734002] was depressing. It was and in starting [b:The Promise of Morning 6605731 The Promise of Morning (At Home in Beldon Grove, #2) Ann Shorey http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1254553857s/6605731.jpg 6799645] you would think this would be depressing through out as well, but that is not the case. This novel starts with a heart breaking fact of life and continues into a scenario where with modern day medical knowledge we know what is happening, but ignorance hurts. Yet the story continues on. By the book blurb it looks like this is a story about Ellie, and it is, but even more so this is a story about Matthew. Through both Ellie and Matthew a story is told that is very real, raw, and emotional and something to growth with and from and continue on. In the situations that take place my own mind says I would just give up, but watching the characters and watching how life does continue and seeing how God orchestrates things for the end all is incredible to imagine. This is a book that tells a story about grief, but offers so much healing as well. I highly recommend this book. Though it is the second in a series, you could very well read this one alone. Now, eagerly I look forward to the next novel to come from author [a:Ann Shorey 1949873 Ann Shorey http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1231558780p2/1949873.jpg].Thanks to Donna Hausler of Revell Books for providing a copy for review.
