Things worth remembering is a book worth savoring.When I received the book from Bethany House I wasn’t really too inspired by the teaser on the back of the book.And for the first couple of chapters I really couldn’t figure out what these peoples’ problem was.Then as the story began to unfold I couldn’t put it down.This is a story about some very nice people but people that are human all the same.People make mistakes and forgiveness and sometimes just understanding is required.That’s what this book is about – human relationships which are complicated at best but so worth pursuing.It’s about relationship with God and with each other.The story is about a mother and her daughter who is about to get married and about the mother’s relationship with her own mother.I can’t really say much more than that because the reader has the right to find out all the details on their own and savor the conclusion.I will definitely be watching for more books by Jackina Stark.Bethany House has a whole band of authors with a fresh and appealing voice in Christian fiction – real stories about real people that aren’t preachy but touch the readers’ hearts with their similarities to our own rather complicated lives.
