Sharon Sale is a master storyteller. I felt tears welling in my eyes from almost the start of the first chapter, tears of sadness, grief, separation, love, and hope. A mother's love. A daughter's love for her mother. No matter what the age, no one gets over losing their mother. Just as we were once part of her, she is a part of our heart. Fortunately for the now orphaned Carlie, her mother's chosen caretakers for her, Ruby and Peanut, have huge hearts.
The focus of the story is how they learn, with the help of not just Carlie but the community of Blessings, to be worthy of the trust of Carlie's mother. Yes, there are bumps along the way but, well, if I could choose an imaginary town to live in, it would be Blessings. Life may have its ups and downs, as evidenced by another couple coming back together and learning to trust and love each other again, and more. I won't detail the story. You can find a synopsis easily. Instead, I'll just say that while you may shed a few tears reading "The Blessings,Georgia, series and I, for one, treasure the time my mind has spend there.
Thank you #NetGalley and #SourcebooksCasablanca for the chance to make this one, last trip to Blessings. It was a heartfelt visit.
