Book Review: One Sunday

One Sunday by Carrie Gerlach Cecil

This is an excellent book worth reading and passing on to friends. Alice, the main character shares her story in layers within the framework of a Sunday which symbolizes life, love and hope. Her portrayals of hurt, brokenness, and self centeredness speak to the experiences of many modern women. She finds herself pregnant, married and living in the South after a life which had included heartbreak and "success" in New York and Los Angeles. What an interesting way to share a story reminiscent of the prodigal. The novel shares hope and love through the words and actions of Tim and LeChelle, Alice's neighbours. Through this story I was reminded of the need to take time to listen and offer hope and friendship the people that come across my path. This book is definitely worth reading! Note: I thank Net Galley and Howard Books for a preview copy.
