I am reviewing a copy of Stories That Bind Us through Revell and Netgalley:

Betty Sweet did not expect to be widowed at only 40. With so much life left in her, she must figure out life without her husband. She couldn’t have had any idea what God had in store for her. After her. estranged sister is committed to a sanitarium, Betty finds herself taking on the care of a 5-year-old nephew, a nephew she never even knew she had.

They make an odd pair in 1960s Lafontaine Michigan, Betty with her pink Button nose and bouffant hair, Hugo with his light brown skin, and big brown eyes. What is more powerful than what makes them different is what they share, the heartache of the empty space they both have in their lives.

In time they will learn to trust one another and they’ll be able to find common ground through Storytelling.

I give Stories That Bind Us five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
