I must admit I only read this book because the author gave it to me in exchange of a honest review, but I have been blessed by all the stories I have read.The fact that this was about actual people and how they overcome the difficulties of life was remarkable and inspiring.Elegant in its simplicity, this collection of stories will provide comfort and a sense of hope in the face of thesufferings of life.It's a great read also because is well written and easy to read and each story is very well depicted, honest and authentic.The ladies in this book went trough different walks of life, they made dumb mistakes and they struggled with dysfunctional families, addictions, loss of a son, physical and sexual abuse, divorce, depression, affairs, abortion etc. and they all remember us that God never gives you more than you can bear, God loves us, He is after us in such terrifying times and He cares about us when bad things happen.They don't ask only "God, why did you let this happen to me?" or they don't simply say "God has his reasons."The thing they say is "God, help me with this" because when we most need it, God gives us more strength.These stories proved me that there is hope for everyone and no one should be cast aside because of their personalities or any other reason. God gives every believer opportunities to live meaningfully in an unfair and unpredictable world. Sometimes it's just a matter of discerning what is His will.It is a good book if you don't have a lot of time for reading because you can put it down and pick it up often but if you want to read in a continuous session it's very enjoyable too, because stories are so different from one to another that It doesn't lose its impact.
