I don't remember the last time I laughed out loud or chuckled so much reading a book. Annette O'Hare is a marvelous storyteller and she writes humor so effortlessly with such subtlety.

The later part of the book is quite grim though, the author having taken some of the details from the devastating flood that actually happened in history.

I liked the author's work so much that, half-way through Redeeming Light, I went and bought another one of her books with one click! I am also considering buying Redeeming Light and other of her titles for the church library.

This is my honest opinion based on the review copy I received from the publisher.

Our lives can be such a muddle, taking us on paths we never dreamed of, connecting us with people in all kinds of various ways. We go through our lives, just living, pleased or irritated with people and situations around us. We also have unique ways that drive us. Then things happen. Sarah recently lost her father, who was a rancher with an esteemed breed of cattle. But they only seemed important to her. The rest of her family had other plans. She sticks to her guns and makes plans with her Uncle to continue ranching, bringing her stock to his ranch, even acting as trail boss herself in moving some stock to sale. She meets Frederick, a lawyer in her Uncle's firm. Her Uncle trust him, but Sarah isn't so sure. Well illustrated Christian lessons and growth, including how good Christians influence others' lives around them. Examples of prayers answered when disaster strikes. Perspectives, and people, change depending on the circumstances they are in. What is important becomes more clear. Excellent read!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
