Book Review--Where the Pink Houses Are


If you are looking for a reason not to do any housework, go ahead and start this book. If you have too much work to do, wait until you have a day off. You will not be able to put it down!

If you have a Kindle you can download it today. If you have a Nook, you can still download it today through WestbowPress.com as a pdf.

Brenna is a tragic character being both an orphan and young widow. Following her former mother-in-law to Ireland promises to be a needed escape and change of scenery in an otherwise lonely existence. Besides, her mother-in-law is the only one Brenna has left. Where Anna goes, Brenna goes.

The last thing on her mind is love, but apparently her beauty is irresistible and the local lads are drawn to her charm. A short term vacation turns into an extended stay and Brenna learns to forge friendships and navigate a painful new relationship that is wrought with drama.

Brenna's budding faith is growing, but so is the emotional turbulence that leads to a life-changing decision akin to watching a train wreck. This is my favorite kind of story, however. There's plenty of real-life mess with a hefty dose of redemption. It might seem too good to be true, but if you don't want a happy ending, you can watch the evening news.

In full disclosure, this book was recommended to me by the author, Rebekah Ruth, who was going to be a friend of mine in Buffalo had we not moved to Omaha, but through the wonderful invention of Facebook is a cyber friend whom I can observe, admire and support from afar.
