review 1: When I saw what this book was about, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to read it. It sat on my stack of books mocking me. Being a writer and an avid reader, I love words, so the title and the cover drew me, but each time I picked it up, I wondered if it would be too heavy for me to enjoy. Though I’ve been a reader all my life, I’m a mom first. When a child is injured or deliberately hurt, it’s difficult for me to read. But I heard such great and beautiful things (and I got a couple of copies in the mail- that’s usually a good sign I should give it a shot) that I decided to give it a chance.I am so glad that I did. Yttrup’s journey of healing, redemption, and faith is gorgeous and uplifting. The story is difficult at times, but beautiful and stunning. I loved Kaylee ... moreand the mom in me wanted to reach out, love her, and give her peace and comfort. I’ve got three children and I could understand Sierra’s doubts. Was she doing the right thing? Did she give Kaylee what she needed?Ginny Ytrrup’s book is such a gorgeous journey that you can’t help but be affected. It’s deeper than mere storytelling and it transcends entertainment. This is a life changing experience and one that I can’t recommend highly enough.Give Words a chance. You’ll be glad you did.PG-13/R. – this is a story about abuse and the journey back from that abuse. Though Yttrup handles it with deft style and seeming sleight of hand, it’s still gritty, real, and heart-wrenching. I wouldn’t recommend this book for anyone under at least the age of 16 . The emotional journey is too difficult.Review copy provided by B&H Publishing
review 2: I am a big fan of books that deal with the harsh realities of life, and show the redemptive power of God. This is one of those books. I couldn't put it down. My heart was broken for young Kaylee. I love Sierra's heart. This book will tug at your heart in so many ways. A story of a young woman and little girl who rescue each other. I love the author, Ginny Yttrup's, style of writing. I didn't know until the end that this was Ginny's story. less
