Restless Soul

This books gives one a great deal of history wrapped in dialog and beautifully word-painted scenes. Emily doesn't preach, but shows good habits for gaining spiritual strength by the examples she uses in the lives of her characters. Once you get into it, it's very difficult to quit reading; you long to know the outcome. To me, that is one of the best signs of a good book.

This book is the first novel by Texas free-lance writer Emily Tipton Williams. It is a gentle story of a young lady facing an inner struggle at a crossroads in her life. The book is deeply spiritual, but the spiritualism is presented in such a way that it gracefully envelopes and embraces the reader, there is no in-your-face bible thumping going on here. Restless Soul presents an engaging story, with places described with such vivid imagery that you can see, smell, and feel them. There are characters the reader will enjoy getting to know, especially the main character, Elizabeth Davies, who provides a wonderful example of how one can live a life of faith and love with courage and conviction in the face of events that require difficult life changing choices. A book like this inspires the reader to live life well, do right, and to get in touch with their spiritual being. A little bit of Elizabeth should rub off on all of us. Well done, Ms. Williams.

I thoroughly enjoyed my journey through the Celtic countryside, so vividly described by Elizabeth. She was compelling in her search for who she was, or who she would/should become. Her defiance of the Bishop was unexpected, but further defined her character. The ending was totally satisfactory. I hope we hear more from Emily Tipton Williams.

Emily Williams writes with the special sense of a spiritual intuitive. This captivating story with its Celtic setting rings with a satisfying authenticity. The reader comes away with their own awareness of divine intervention, in the so-called common place, heightened by the reading. Marilyn Gilbert Komechak, Ph.D.
