Book Description: Savannah Barrington has always found solace at her parents’ lake house in the Berkshires, and it’s the place that she runs to when her husband of over twenty years leaves her. Though her world is shaken, and the future uncertain, she finds hope through an old woman’s wisdom, a little girl’s laughter, and a man who’s willing to risk his own heart to prove to Savannah that she is worthy of love.
But soon Savannah is given a challenge she can’t run away from: Forgiving the unforgivable. Amidst the ancient gardens and musty bookstores of the small town she’s sought refuge in, she must reconcile with the grief that haunts her, the God pursuing her, and the wounds of the past that might be healed after all.
My Thoughts: So many times in our broken state of helplessness we can find mercy and grace in God's love. Such is the case in Savannah Barrington's life.
None of us want our spouse to leave us for infidelity. But many times those things are beyond our control. When Savannah's husband leaves her after twenty years it hurts her to her core so she decides to go to a place where she remembers love and laughter--her parents' lake house.
At this place Savannah finds much more than she ever thought she needed but she also finds that she must learn to forgive. Forgiveness never seems hard until we have to forgive.
An interesting novel of hurts, healing and heart-to-heart thoughts and talks with those who know the meaning of listening.
