And I didn't mean to be misleading...It is GOOD. And I didn't mean to be misleading about Perla's gift. (Spoiler: She doesn't cause rain.) <br />You should read this one. I really think you'll like it! Have you read her free novella?Courtney Ballingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495154860154448295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356240869041361369.post-22206492093336044042014-08-15T10:39:04.894-05:002014-08-15T10:39:04.894-05:00Ooh! This book sounds interesting! The hero remind...Ooh! This book sounds interesting! The hero reminds me of my Jesse character. Quiet, non-confrontational, by-the-book kind of guy. <br /><br />I admit, I was a little iffy about whether Perla's "gift" would give this story a paranormal, or speculative turn. From the title, blurb and other descriptions I've read, it sounds like she's going to have something to do with miraculously bringing rain in a drought. I have no guarantee of that, so I guess I should read the book before I pass judgment. :) <br /><br />That being said, I think it's very tough to write literal miracles into a book and make them believable. I know our great God can do anything, but in fiction, you know a human author is contriving it, and, unless it's based on a true story, it just doesn't ring true. I'm still wanting to give this book a try, though. The setting and characters intrigue me. Thanks for the review!Natalie Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197043273258414949noreply@blogger.com
