With Love from Bliss

This is a great story! I loved the vivid characters and the message the story portrays. The great thing about this author's books is that you don't have to read them in order to understand them...but all her books are excellent and I highly recommend them!

This is the second installment in the Saskatchewan Saga series...I was ready to hear more about my favorite characters from the first book, A Place Called Bliss, but the majority of the book dealt with new characters and it dawned on me, the common thread in these books was the town of Bliss...eventually the story touched on some of the prior characters...Kerry was a precosious child orphaned by her father's death. She had a penchant for spouting Biblical quotes when she could not verbally express her feelings. Her Aunt Charlotte comes and takes her in and brings her to a whole new world of elegance and sophistication...Kerry (Keren, with TWO e's!) becomes fast friends with Franny, her cousin, who being sickly, is sheltered by the rest of the family...As the two girls grow up, they become inseparable until tragedy strikes Franny. In her grief, Kerry plans to pay back what she considered an unforgiveable deed, by going out west and finding the man who broke Franny's heart and spirit...along the way Kerry will find herself challenged to really understand the Bible in ways she never did before.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will look forward to reading more about the town of Bliss!
