Shaped by the Waves by Christina Suzann Nelson // Review

My Review: 

Following three women this book explores how each of their lives take unforeseen twists, but God was in control all along. 

Cassie George and her young daughter, Lark, return to the Georgia Coast to care for her ailing Aunt Shasta, while there she receives a mysterious manuscript that tells a riveting tale that evokes memories from her past. 

A compelling read about three very different women, told in a way that makes it feel more character driven until it all takes a turn as the story progresses. I liked the strong themes of family beyond the bonds of blood, and that way that God works things out for good. Lark is such a sweet child and I loved the way that she communicated with Shasta, and her friendship with Marshall. She is so unabashed about how she says things in her own little way. 

Overall, this was a compelling and surprising read that had me invested in all three of the storylines and characters, with a beautiful message of faith and hope. A memorable women's fiction read, engaging and gentle, weaving a powerful story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
