What an amazing story. It's going to be hard to narrow down
my thoughts and not give anything away, but here goes...
The themes of this story really captured me more than
anything else, though there was a ton more to love about this book. From
vanity, greed, and fear, to trust, serving Jesus, Good Samaritan, and putting
God first, this novel was filled to the gills with lessons that were
thoughtfully woven into every detail. None of them seemed over the top
or preachy to me; rather, they were subtle and sweet and brought just the right
touch of grace to the story line.
Now, we have to talk about the characters. The leads were
great, but I especially loved the supporting cast. These characters stood out
as unique, diverse, and spunky. They brought a spark of fun to the story that I
think would have fallen flat without them. That's one thing I love about Kim
Sawyer's books; she always knows just what a book needs and makes certain to
deliver!
The cover fit this book perfectly, from the softened
hairstyle to the letters, and even the postage-stamp effect as the background
for the title. This is one of my favorite covers this year.
If you're already a fan of Ms. Sawyer's, you already know
the sweet treat you're in for when you pick up this book. But if you haven't
yet tried her books, you might want to hurry up and snatch a copy of Grace and
the Preacher. It's a fabulous one to begin with!
