This was an interesting premise. Alana is an aspiring journalist, almost broke. She hears about a mysterious elderly woman who hands strangers short messages which have positive impacts on their lives, and thinks she has found the story she needs to make a name for herself and break into journalism.
The story itself is quite lovely, but it takes a long time to get there and I found myself skimming in places. But the ending was very satisfying

Drawn in deeply from the start, this was a very enjoyable read for me. Caught by surprise, I admit. The characters very relatable, the writing very descriptive.

Messenger is an interesting story written by Liz Keller Whitehurst. The story is about a girl named Alana who want to become a journalist and an old lady named Messenger, who gives messages to people when he/she need them at the time. Alana wants to write a story about this lady. So she began to search for her and collect information from everyone who got the messages. The responses she got from the people makes us curious to know more about Messenger.
From the first sight itself, Alana was drawn to her and got a motherly feeling. She enjoyed being with Messenger. A bond develops between the two of them. The rest of the story tells more about them, their journey etc. This is an unusual and interesting story to read. The story is lengthy but I enjoyed reading it.

4/5!

What an interesting read! And what a time in life for this book to be coming out! It was really unique and really did remind me that there are good, wholesome, kind people living out in the world today. This book see’s a journalist, Alana who finds an old woman who gives advice that changes lives in people all over a big city. Alana soon find that there is much more to the messenger than she thought. I seriously encourage everyone to pick this book up and from what I have heard there is a PODCAST! Amazing!

Wonderful book with an amazing story inside the pages. You will believe in miracles and wonder as you work your way through this book. Wonderfully done and easy to enjoy.

What an unusual book! Young woman moves to NYC to follow her dream of becoming a journalist and eventually meets a seriously interesting older woman who selectively hands out cryptic "life messages" to strangers. Of course she's intrigued and pursues answers. I loved the story but it went on too long so I skipped whole sections, which didn't ruin the impact of the ending. Book is best for those open to the unusual.
