House on Malcolm Street by Leisha Kelly


MY THOUGHTS:
I had never read this author, so was excited to get this book. I LOVED it! I thought the story was touching and inspiring and it made me really rethink some issues in my own life. Finding God after a tragedy like Leah went through is something that everyone can relate to. If you are looking for a great book to read that will remind you of the goodness of God and of healing, this one is it.


ABOUT THIS BOOK:


When tragedy steals her future, can Leah learn to trust again?

It is the autumn of 1920, and Leah Breckenridge is desperate to find a way to provide for her young daughter. After losing her husband and infant son, she is angry at God and fearful about the days ahead. Finding refuge in a boardinghouse run by her late husband's aunt, Leah begins the slow process of mending her heart.


Is it the people who surround her--or perhaps this very house--that reach into her heart with healing? As Leah finds peace tending to an abandoned garden, can she find a way to trust God with her future?


A beautifully simple story about the complexities of life, The House on Malcolm Street is a treasure.
