Deus te Amat Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Dear friends, I am going to do a bit of selfish promoting right now for a friend of a friend. Selfish only because I loved this book so much that I want everyone else to experience the joy of it too. This is the book: Click here This is my review: [This book] is about an impoverished young girl and her journey to riches. I do not mean these in the traditional sense of the words. She is not materially poor, not really, but she is poor in spirit. She is broken, and does not know how to ask for help. Her mother is dead, she is crippled by polio, God does not (it seems) answer her prayers, and, to avoid more pain, she has hardened her heart to those who love her most.To cope, she poured herself into the things that make sense -- mathematics and music. These loves open her heart just enough for a friend to slip through, and her life will never be the same again.I lived Lucy's journey as she lived it. [The author] made her life so real. I laughed and I cried, I was angry and surprised, I hated and loved WITH her, and while she lived, I remembered. It healed bits of me, bits that I did not even know were broken, and it gave me hope.[The author] clearly has lived what she has written, and her vibrant writing displays her experience. I have never read music described so vividly and with such understanding, nor have I empathized with a character so deeply. Lucy's life is one we can all relate to, and Lucy's journey to wholeness can heal a bit of brokenness in us all.Enjoy, for this book is a song of love -- a music that you will never forget. It is a great new work of Catholic fiction. If you know anything about growing up Catholic, learning about Catholicism, or the personal journey to holiness, you will love this book. The kindle version is only five dollars for a limited time on amazon, and if you want to read it and money is an issue, let me know via message and I would love to help you out. Thanks for reading this. /endspam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) DUST! Could you 'phix' the link for THIS book in the Advent to Candlemass thread, and the one for the Febuary Phatmass Book Club book (The Fault In Our Stars) (both on Lame Board) as well -- I didn't think! :paperbag: Thank you! And YES, that looks like a great book, DTA! Edited January 27, 2014 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
