Could anything be more humilating that to be left stranded at the altar and her intended groom walk out of the church on the arm of her best friend? Charity Bloom learns a lot of lessons from her experiences that perhaps all of us could take note. Marcia Gruver addresses several problems that haunt all of us at one time or another...how do we treat betrayal and deceit....how do we handle embarrassment our loved ones sometimes can cause..and on and on the problems come.
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to face. Charity's friend ,Emmy, learns the freedom it brings to those whonged as well as to herself. We watch as this character has a complete reversal of traits. She is transformed right before our eyes from a selfish, uncaring person to one who knows the value of a true friend and what happiness is all about.
Charity's sterling character comes through in all of the situations she confronts and I came away wondering if I could handle things half as well as she did.
While the book is not classified as Christian Fiction, it still portrays Christian virtues and values and it is certainly both entertaining as well as inspirational.
