I read…

Angie Smith at Bring the Rain advertised that it was a free download for a limited time, so I got to read it for free. It was a good thing I was reading on my Touch that glows in the dark, because I read late into one night to finish it. Loved it. Very precious story.

Made me cry in multiple places. One of which was when she knew her pregnancy was in trouble and that unless God intervened, she would not be bringing home a baby. Strangers would ask seemingly benign questions that broke her heart because to answer truthfully, she would have to tell the story. I remember times like that during Bub’s treatment. On the outside, everything looked ‘normal’ but what we were living was anything but. I so relate!

And right now I’m taking my own sweet time reading Laura Bush’s book, Spoken From the Heart. I’ve taken it to appointments and what not. I haven’t stayed up all night to read it…yet! : )  I’m still in the early section of the book that talks about her childhood. Since she grew up in a small town, it is interesting how many things I can relate to. We moved to ‘the big city’ when I was a baby, but we still regularly visited grandparents and other relatives that lived in Small Town. Many of the things she experienced as a young girl, I had a taste of growing up as well. She is a very articulate writer and it’s easy to see she is very well read.

So it’s been fun to read two such different books that I can relate to on some level.
