Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes by Robin Jones Gunn
Summer Finley makes a decision to realize a lifelong dream when she is faced with the news of an abnormal mammogram. She heads for Holland where she enjoys tulips, wooden shoes, and her best friend, Noelle,
Noelle and Summer have been pen pals since fourth grade, but have never met face-to-face. Through decades of correspondence, they have developed an abiding friendship. A week of together helps both of them release anxiety and develop a deeper trust in God. When Summer finally reveals the news of her abnormal medical report, Noelle finds the freedom to share a her own deep heartache,and both women discover they needed each other more than they realized.
This book made me laugh so hard at times I cried but also touched my heart tenderly and deeply as well. Summer's exploits in Holland were funny and the descriptions of the flowers and shops and things made me want to go to Holland for myself. That is not easy to do for this homebody. I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy this book in the Sisterchick series. This was my first foray into this particular author's works. I had heard of the Sisterchick books but dismissed them as frivolity. I was quite mistaken in that opinion and plan to catch up on the series as well as the other books this author has written.

This blog is...

- ... a way for me to work on the discipline of writing, and to voice my thoughts on my life and experiences on my journey to better health; both physically and spiritually. I am disabled by Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Deep Depression. This is a great source of frustration for me as I often feel useless and can't do many things I feel I should do. I feel like I am constantly trying to catch up and every illness and/ or injury, of which there are many since I have a syndrome, puts me that much further behind. I find myself over doing in order to attempt to catch up and round and round we go. While I know in my head it is not necessary to maintain the extremely high and often unrealistic standards I was raised with, my body and my heart has a hard time following suit. I am a follower of Jesus Christ;I came to His feet in 2001 and my desire is to stay at His feet as much a possible. It is my hope that I will always seek to glorify only Him and the One who sent Him. Please make sure you scroll all the way down so you don't miss anything. Thanks for visiting; please give me feedback on how I can make this better. Standing in Christ's strength. CAC
