Becoming Us: A Novel

Let me start by saying I love the cover of this book. Now that I have finished reading the story, the cover means even more to me. I want to have a summer party with the ladies in my life just like Jennalyn's. This is a very special story about becoming a good friend, a better sister, daughter or mother. Every woman needs a Jennalyn, Sierra, Christy, Tess or Emily in their life. I have gained so many wonderful ideas from this read. Without going into detail and spoiling the story for others, let's just say there are some fantastic party and get together ideas I will definitely like to try. Christy, one of the characters in the story, would ask God each year to impress upon her a word for the year, something she should be working on. In the book the present word is LISTEN. So she shares with her friends different ways God was bringing this to her attention. At the beginning of this new year, what a wonderful time to pray and ask God to impress on me a Word or area I need to do better at. The Word is going to be different for each woman, depending where we are with our walk with Him or our family dynamics. This group of ladies called themselves the Daughters Of Eve, or DOE's. The support and understanding they develop for each other is phenomenal. Each lady has her own strength, and they combine these for the good of the whole. My daughters are grown now, but this is one time I wish I could go back in time. I would love to have a celebration of their entry into womanhood for each of my girls, as the DOE's did for Emily's daughter Audra. Our girls are all princesses and should be treated as such. After all our father is The King of Kings. This is a wonderfully written story. There is so much content here, you will want to read it again so you do not miss anything. I received a copy of this book from the publishers WaterBrook and Multnomah through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own

Great book
