Book Review - Not A Sparrow Falls

The back cover on the back of this book especially intrigued me - "Two desperate people - one with all the answers... one with none." I couldn't wait to find out about these people and how their lives would intersect.

Mary Bridget Washburn's life up to this point had been defined by tough breaks and poor choices. As a result she is running from her past and attempting to begin a new life without facing the consequences for choices made in her past. Alasdair MacPherson is also trying to ignore his past instead of face it, with ominous consequences for his children. They both learn an important lesson about the power of God's grace.

I enjoyed this book more than most Christian fiction books, probably because of the character of Alasdair's oldest daughter who is twelve years old. She is suffering the fallout of her father's inability to face the past and what happened to her mother. I enjoyed watching the healing of the relationship between father and daughter.

Overall, this book is well written with a plot that stays interesting, and an incredibly good ending. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House publisher.
