Any Dream Will do by Debbie
Macomber – 5 Stars An inspiring Read
Wow, loved this book. I couldn’t sleep very well having some pain
issues and this book kept me company all night long. Maybe had I not cracked it open I would have
slept, I doubt it. I found this book to
be one of the best I have read of Debbie Macombers in a while and she doesn’t
really write bad books. I just think
this one was different. If you are looking
for a great faith based book, this book involves a female fresh out of prison,
Shay Benson and a Pastor Drew Douglas.
He lost the love of his life, leaving him with two children daughter and
son, who are a bit of a handful. After
over the third year, with his flock behind him, although they wish he can get
so he can move on and back to his old self or something like that.
He is thinking in that way
also, when he runs into Shay in the church where she came in to get out of the
cold he talks to her, she doesn’t keep her past life a secret from anyone
ever. He helps Shay to get into a place
to take some classes do some volunteer work, help her get on her feet. The woman who runs the place asks what her
dreams are. She says she doesn’t have dreams any more, she had them and she
lost it all. She said just go wild let
your mind think on it and any dream will do, once you start dreaming again, you
find that once you open that door more come that way. There is always a lot of work in making your
dreams come true, especially for an ex con…but everyone has to work to make
their dreams come true. The easy ones
aren’t as appreciated.
He eventually runs into her
again when she comes to church and she invites him to her graduation. He and his kids accept. The story just takes off and he finds that he
has feelings for this woman, who can’t hardly believe that any man fit to be
with would want her so she has lots of doubts, and his children love her also. I know I should re-read this and write it
over, I’m just trying to the review up as promised. I’ve started another book and it isn’t always
easy to write about a book after a few days go by and I’ve been reading along a
different track.
This book is really well worth
the price. It’s a great read. For those who give their word and never ever
want to go back on it will really connect with this book and those with a need
to reconnect with faith.
This kindle book was given to
me in exchange for an honest review from “Net Galley”.
Description as found on Good
Reads:
Shay Benson adored her younger
brother, Caden, and that got her into trouble. When he owed money, Shay
realized she would do anything to help him avoid the men who were threatening
him, and she crossed lines she never should have crossed. Now, determined to
start fresh, she finds herself in search of a place to stay and wanders into a
church to escape from the cold.
Pastor Drew Douglas adored his wife. But when he lost her, it was all he could do to focus on his two beautiful kids, and his flock came in a distant third. Now, as he too is thinking about a fresh start, he walks through his sanctuary and finds Shay sitting in a pew.
The pair strike up a friendship—Drew helps Shay get back on her feet, and she reignites his sense of purpose—that, over time, turns into something deeper, something soulful, spiritual, and possibly romantic. Even Drew’s two children are taken with this woman who has brought light back into their lives. Perhaps most important, Shay learns to trust again as she, in turn, proves herself trustworthy to her adopted community.
But Caden’s return to town and a disastrous secret threaten to undo the life Shay has tried so hard to rebuild. It will take the utmost courage and faith if she and Drew hope to find healing and open their hearts to a brighter future
