A wonderful book filled with some amazing, heart-felt stories. Definitely takes you to different emotions. Some stories more amazing than others. But I like this book overall.
This is my second read-through of this compilation of stories. I was gifted this book on the Mother's Day before my first son was born. It was an enjoyable read at that time. Now, 25 years later and in a very different season of life, reading these stories again was still an enjoyable experience. I don't recall what my thoughts were on my first read-through but, I can say today that I have a certain wisdom with which to take a special understanding of what each story author is trying to convey. I saved this book for the weekends or evenings where I needed a little chocolate in the form of a story.
This inspirational book is filled with very short stories that are honest, down-to-earth, and heartwarming and are filled with hopefulness. I enjoyed using it during my devotional time as each story is a very quick read.
I have always loved the “Chicken Soup” series and have been truly awed by the stories of love, humor and inspiration they contained. When I discovered this new series by a woman author, I eagerly scooped it up. How disappointing to find that the humorous blurbs weren’t and that most of the stories lacked any depth. Needless to say, I won’t pick up this author again.
It was a good book... I could not get tired reading some of the stories over and over again. :) I learned valuable lessons and got touched about women's stories about life, love, healing, and most of all... about keeping relationships. ^_^
One of my stories is published in this collection : ) Family Circle reprinted it, along with a few others in one of their issues and it was so edited, I barely recognized it as mine.
