I began Nancy's book one night and finished it the next morning. I have to say it is the best book I have read in a long, long time. I'm not a professional critic of such things, but I know good writing and it is obvious to me that Nancy knows what she's doing. My own personal criteria that determines whether I enjoy a book is that I have to like the characters, it has to be written by someone who knows how to write well, and hopefully the author will have something to share that is going to enrich my mind.
What impressed me about Nancy's book was that she went through something that was so horrible that most of us can not imagine the pain of it, yet presented her story in such a way that it was pleasant to read. She used her experience to teach some wise, hard-learned truths in a very gentle way. Her family came across to the reader as real, loving and strong, exhibiting to others that Christians who live what they believe, truly do live rich lives. I hope she feels very content with the story she is telling. What greater gift could a person hope to contribute to others during her lifetime? I will be passing my copy of her book around among my family members and friends and I am looking forward to reading her others.
