A Great Read

Yikes! I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. I have been sick for the past week. It wasn't the most fun way to spend a long holiday weekend, but I must admit it was nice to relax.

I napped, dug into magazines, watched a few movies and finished a wonderful book, Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos.

It's a wonderful, and wonderfully engaging, story, mainly about two very different women dealing with very different struggles. My favorite thing about the book is how I grew to love the characters slowly, naturally and without even realizing it. I also liked how the home the two women inhabit -- as well as their lives -- slowly and naturally fill with other characters.

This beautiful story is definitely worth reading. And if being sick allowed me to delve completely into it, then I'm grateful for having this bout of the flu!
