Doesn't She Look Natural? (Fairlawn #1) by Angela Hunt

 

Synopsis :

How do you cope when God asks you to bury a dream? In this new series by best-selling author Angela Hunt, readers will meet Jennifer Graham, the no-nonsense chief of staff for a Virginia senator who quits her job after a divorce and finds herself an unemployed single mom. 

Forced to live with her mother until she can find work on Capitol Hill that does not involve her gregarious ex-husband, her efforts are stymied until she learns that she has inherited a funeral home in picturesque Mt. Dora. 

Jennifer journeys to the small Florida town with her two sons and her mother, never dreaming that within a mortuary she will discover she has inherited a rewarding career that teaches her far more about life than death.

This is what I say :

It's been a while since my last post. Much has happen to the family as the dreaded covid paid a visit and caused some serious damage in the health of myself and a family member.  Am glad that we are all recovering although some side effect still lingers on.  You would have thought that I would be reading a lot during the time of forced rest but no, I was so exhausted most of the time and just too sick to read or do anything.  The fact that a beloved family member was admitted in hospital and there's nothing much I can do except to grab stuff over and to pray.  It was during those times that I do try to read a bit and I was drawn to the Fairlawn Series by Angela Hunt.

A series of 3 titles, the book are in extremely new condition as I bought them from the floating bookstore years ago and have been keeping them on my bookshelves all these while.  Am glad I started on the series during the above challenging time as these are Christian novels and certainly most uplifting with the messages of encouragement, forgiveness, trusting in divine intervention and such.

I didn't quite like the first title which is this one Doesn't She Look Natural? as I thought too much happened in just one book but then, I do like the message in this book.  Indeed let go and let God made a lot of sense here.

I always believe there's a time a season for everything, even what we read and this was the time and season for me to read these titles.

One down two to go.
