Fear of the past, finding your roots, fierce family ties , a tragic death overseas, a damaged cloth doll, an internet friendship that develops because of goldfish, pineapple chutney, and southern etiquette are woven into this delightful glimpse into the life of a 31-year old spinster school teacher who lost her Mom at age 2 when her parents were medical missionaries in Japan. Ms. Wisler paints beautiful pictures in your mind as she unfolds this tale. I felt like a fly on the wall observing all that she described, including !the things her characters were feeling.
I really enjoyed this book - it kept me interested. With that said, however, I believe the book ended where it should have begun. It was an extremely slow start to the book and where it ended was the most interesting part of the story. Because of this, the story is left very unresolved with very little closure. I did enjoy the themes of the book - family, self identity, growth, and facing your fears whether they be internal or external.
Nice Christian novel. Ended a little abruptly though, felt like it left me hanging.
