review 1: #2 of the Sullivan Crisp novels was entertaining though not as good as Healing Stones. In this one Lucia, who has issues with her weight and husband, walks away from whatever life she has to take care of her sister Sonia and her niece Betheny. Sonia was in a plane crash in which she suffered severe burns including her face. Her eyelids were even burned off. Sonia was a Christian evangelist who was used to people serving her. Those people walk away from her since God obviously has an issue with Sonia to let her go through this. Lucia, who has always served Sonia since they were kids sticks by her side.Sullivan Crisp, a Christian counselor and friend of Sonia's, tries to help Sonia get through the accident. He finds, however, that he can be of more help to Lucia in de... morealing with the past she has stuffed down and ignored. It has had huge effects on her life.A predictable ending but an entertaining read. I like books that bring God into them and address issues so many face.
review 2: A great read. I enjoyed the way in which the story was told... going from a personal perspective to more of a narrative was quite captivating. It helped me, as the reader, really get into the plot. Healing Waters definitely blends heartbreaking loss and emotional turmoil with encouraging truths... a reason to hope and desire vulnerability. The book truly presents a perspective so many women encounter at some point or another in their lives, and the authenticity of desperation mixed with guarded hardness reveals the root dichotomy of why recovery may beat some individuals while redeeming others. I recommend this book as a quick and easy read. If nothing else, maybe it can help relationally when walking alongside someone with the journey to find themselves, to find their own self-worth. less
