Book Review and Give-Away of
Wildflowers from Winter
by Katie Ganshert
It is said that the Woman we become is based on several things. The little girl we once were, our
family dynamics, the generation we grow-up in and the individual personality that we are born with.
This story is about Big City Architect Bethany Quinn, living in Chicago and working for one of the most prestigious and respected Architect Firms in the country. She has risen above the small down trailer trash existence of her childhood to her very own Cinderella Story. She thinks life is finally going her way with a great job, fabulous boyfriend and her own lovely apartment. BUT usually when one thinks everything is coming up roses and life couldn't possibly be better...watch out...because something is about to happen...to knock you off your pretty little Merry Go Round of Life. That is exactly what happens to Bethany when she is urgently called back to that small little trailer trash town that she thought was all in her past. She discovers that her Grandfather whom she hasn't seen in 10 years but dearly loves is in the hospital and also her best friend whom she lost contact with in her move-up to the good-life, is about to need a strong arm of support in her life.
I don't want to give too much away but this is a book for all you Western Romance/Inspirational Readers out there in Book Land. Bethany discovers that you can't go back home without dealing with your past issues. And believe me she has a basketful.
I kept thinking that she needed Beth Moore's Study Book..."So Long Insecurity....you've been a real bad friend." It is only in going backward that we can truly move forward in freedom to the future God has planned for us. Bethany is about to learn that You Can Always Go Home...but TRUE Moving-on-up comes only in Christ Jesus!

Hi Peggy. I would love to enter your May give a way. That book sounds like it would be a great one. By the way, I am a little envious (I know...we aren't supposed to do that...of your time at the antique mall :>)) Sounds like a very fun time. Hugs.
Peggy that really sounds like a good book. Nothing like reading about somebody elses problems, we can stop thinking about ours for a little while.
Thank you for the book give aways.
