For every woman who has ever desired
to make sense of her past, find joy in
the present, and discover God’s purpose
for her future.
Anna Bentley needs a new life. Struggling in a long-term marriage with two children and carrying a secret that stole her joy many years ago, she begins to search for the key to happiness in marriage and in life. When peach martinis, lacy lingerie and Nicholas Sparks novels fail to quell her discontent and spice up her failing marriage, she finds what she was looking for in the most unlikely place.
Autumn’s Harmony is a poignant and witty tale about the healing power of forgiveness, reconciliation and new beginnings.
My thoughts: I was a bit surprised at the beginning of this book, with some of the language and details of situations that I was not expecting. That said, I understood why it was that way, since Anna doesn't have a relationship with the Lord and is seeking for something to fill the void that her secrets have left her with. I thought that the author did a wonderful job of writing about that journey. There are part of this story that will resonate with a wide variety of readers.
I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.
