Search - The Awakening

Had I known this was Christian fiction I wouldn't have bought it. It would have been a mistake, as this is a lovely book. There isn't Christian content, and the religious content relates strongly to the story and isn't intrusive or overdone. Another reminder that you can't judge a book by it's cover!

This book is a little different than your normal everyday Christian fiction. It has a good message, but you have to pay attention to the details.

A parable about how God brings us out of lies and deception into a love relationship with him. I liked the supernatural parts to the book.

Another good Angela Hunt story. She never disappoints!

Aurora Rose has spent a year being a caretaker for her ailing mother who has always dominated her life. When her mother dies, she finds she is unable to leave their 15th floor home for fear of what lies beyound her usual surroundings. Her next door neighboor, Clara was her mother's closest friend and now Aurora's enabler, getting her anything she wants or needs that lies outside of her home. Awakening is the story of Aurora's baby steps as she slowly tries to breakout of her fear and of her need to stay within the walls of her home. The characters are well developed and likeable. I enjoyed this book.

I was sucked in. Definately good for someone who has lost a loved on. One that they took care of.
