Inspirational Fiction
Carley Reed has
created a tidy life out of the ashes of her past. She has
endured a childhood filled with heartbreak and abuse but lives
modestly
working as a teacher in San Francisco. Life as Carley
knows it will be
changed yet again by a private investigation bearing information
of an
inheritance across the country in Tallulah, Mississippi from a
grandmother
she scarcely remembers. Her intention is to visit
Tallulah, sell the house
and take her assets back to San Francisco. However, once
she sets foot in
the charming southern town, Carley finds herself wanting to stay
and put
down roots. She soon opens a bistro and with the
possibility of a new
romance, Carley enjoys her new life. Then a tragedy will hit a
little too
close to home and Carley will need to be strong in her faith and
keep her
wits about her to remain one step ahead of the danger.
A TABLE BY THE WINDOW is contemporary Christian storytelling at
its best! I
first became acquainted with this author though Ms. Blackwell's
Tales of
London series. The elegance of the narrative, compelling
storylines and
realism of the characters are all elements I admired. The
fact that faith
is effortlessly interwoven into the story is also appreciated by
this
reader. Thankfully, these factors are also present in A
TABLE BY THE
WINDOW. Carley is a smart and likeable heroine, the
settings are vibrant
and the supporting characters are all equally rendered with
care. As A
TABLE BY THE WINDOW has found its place on this reader's keeper
shelf, I
would not hesitate to pick up any of this author's work as all I
have read
so far has been exceedingly enjoyable! Highly recommended! |
