I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
An enjoyable tale of three women, two in the present day and one in the past, all struggling with issues. Sophia is a therapist coping with the aftermath of an abusive relationship. She travels to Cornwall as a way of escaping where she meets Ginny, a bookstore owner who is coping with her husband leaving her. In the course of working in the bookstore, Sophia finds a mysterious diary. Is it from a real woman or has someone invented a fictional character?
The stories are interweaved well, and I particularly liked the writing style I'm the diary. There is some gentle romance, but I felt like the focus was primarily on the women making lives for themselves first and foremost. As it is Christian fiction, there is both a focus on this and it's the kind of book that can be read by people who are not necessarily interested in sexual content. Nevertheless, this was a good read with a warm and fluffy ending.
