For twenty-six years, Liz Lightsey was the perfect Pastor’s wife and mother. But when she finds herself a widow at 49. Now, she has an opportunity to follow her dreams, dress how she wants, wear her hair how she wants and pursue her dreams – such as join the local theater. But how will she do this when she is receiving so much resistance from her daughter, Abagail?
This was a very uplifting, inspiring, funny, endearing and sweet book. I enjoyed watching Liz come into her own and realize that she stopped living for herself and did everything her husband wanted during their marriage. Now she has made friends outside of her church, is having fun, living for herself. As with any change there will be some resistance (or a lot as she gets from her daughter), some laughter, some trepidations, lots of growth and reflection.
This was such a wonderful book and I am so glad I gave it a chance. Once I started, I had to keep reading. I did not like when I had to put it down. The characters are well developed, interesting, frustrating, and felt real. Relationships are on display here and I appreciated how the author handled them.
This was my first book by Kerry Anne King, and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.
