Every single time I pick up another of Lila Felix's books, I have found a new favorite.  And Sparrows for Free is no exception.  In fact, it may just be her best yet.The story of Aysa and Ezra is a book like no other. Aysa is a beautiful soul, who can't get even the little bit of attention from her family. She works hard, is not appreciated by her boss nor co-workers either, yet is still spiritually blessed.  In fact it is her faith that leads her to meet Ezra, a man who will soon turn her world upside down.Aysa copes with her perceived inadequacies by hiding in her entertainment unit, shuts out the world, when everything and everyone is just too much to bear.  Her Friday night visits to church are her only other respite from an existence frought with turmoil.  It is at her church when fate steps in and she meets Ezra.  Through a series of events, their paths cross and their lives are never the same.  Ezra is dealing with his own skeletons and is just trying to get through his life, one that is marred by a tragedy is just can't forget.  Once he and Aysa meet, it is like a window has opened for both of them and for the first time, they can actually breathe and learn that the world is not that bad a place when you have someone who wants to help you be the best you can be.This wonderfully written love story is a journey through forgiveness, strength, chance and determination.  Lila Felix's writing is almost at a new level in which she has carefully constructed a very delicate storyline that is just so poignant. Two broken souls that fit together well yet can't seem to stay connected.The slow transformation of Aysa, in not only Ezra's eyes but to her immediate outside world was nothing short of brilliant. It is a joy to see her blossom from not only the love a good man but also from his friends, who take to her and make her feel like family, when her own simply won't.Although things are strained at the end of this book, I am hopeful Ezra can find his strength from Aysa and be the man she deserves.I cannot recommend this book enough.  Lila Felix has created a story that has me clamoring for more!  I look forward to the next part of this story.  A huge 5 stars.  You will not be disappointed.*The author very graciously gifted me a copy of this book.*
