I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.Softly and Tenderly is about a little girl who has lost her mother. Her mother has been sick for awhile. When her mother died she didn't understand what was going on. Everyone told her that her mother had gone to live with Jesus. But Lori didn't believe them because her mother loved her very much and would never leave her.Lori is forced to go to the funeral home to say goodbye to her mother. When she arrives at the funeral home she starts to see things that are not really happening or are they? Lori is just a little girl who is having a hard time letting her mother. She doesn't understand what death is probably because she at her young age had never experienced it before. It is a shame that it was her mother's death that she had to experience first.Lori herself had no idea what was going on. She knew no one else was seeing what she was seeing. Everyone kept telling her that her mother had gone to live with Jesus. Jesus had healed her and made her all better. Of course Lori is mad because Jesus took her mother from her and promises to hunt him down and probably make him pay for taking her mother from her.Softly and Tenderly is about a little girl who has experienced death for the first time in her life. And with it being someone she is very close too does not know how to handle it. From what I could understand it was probably the first time she had been inside any kind of facility with a picture of Jesus. She didn't know who he was. I assume that her parents probably never taught her about Jesus and who he was.Although Softly and Tenderly is a short read it gives enough information to know and understand what Lori is going through. But it does leave you at the end wondering if Lori was only imagining things or were they real? I would really love to see more of Lori story. I did enjoy Lori's story very much indeed but I would like to know if Lori was just imagining things or if maybe she has some kind of paranormal ability.
