What she wrote is exactly what I expected. It's a religious story, an allegory and yes, I push God. Did I need to for the story? No - but as a Christian - absolutely! This is my mission. This is my ministry. 😇 Here's the review, and don't forget to checkout the book. The official launch date is May 11. It'll be here before you know it.

What a sweet story. Aden, the unicorn, is a kind hearted, patient, empathetic, and forgiving character. As a mom, there are so many themes from this story that resonated with me. The main character has traits that I would want my children to read about and embrace as they grow older. I think the message is wonderful.
I do worry that not all readers would be drawn to the story because of the religious parallels. However the book reads like a fable, teaching life lessons that everyone should embody. Many chapters can stand alone even with a common thread through the whole story. This would be an easy book for a young reader because they will not need to remember every detail from earlier chapters to understand future plot.
One of my favorite side stories was of Buck, they seemed to lose their compassion after a negative experience with another animal. They let it define how they interacted with the world and all animals of that species. His perspective changes as he gets to observe how Aden approaches animals that are different to him. What a great lesson for humans to learn during this day and age.
