The Sweetest Thing By Elizabeth Musser

Anne “Perri” Singleton is a young girl who has everything going for her; she attends an exclusive girl’s school and has a desirable social life, nothing short of a privileged life. But, just as Perri’s life takes a turn for the worst she is befriended by Marry Dobbs Dillard, a minister’s daughter and a passionate individual. Perri and Dobbs are opposite in every way, yet their friendship blossoms in the mist of the Great Depression.

I truly enjoyed this book. I chose to review this book because I wanted to read something about friendship. Friends make the biggest difference in the world, to have someone who knows your struggles and will pray for you and encourage you. That is what this book is about, true friendship. The title speaks for itself; friendship is “The Sweetest Thing.”

The Waiting Place

The Waiting Place is a collection of essays of Eileen Button’s life. The theme that is carried throughout her memoir is the waiting place or what she calls life’s little delays and opportunities that she uses to trust God. Her book has the traits of an insightful and intelligent woman with an added humor and spunk that will have you laughing as she shares her life experiences.
I love the way she is so transparent and honest with her readers, in one way or the other you will see yourself in the author’s shoes. We all experience the waiting place in our life and this book will encourage you to trust God through your trials.

I received this book free from BookSneeze for the purposes of an honest review.
