Southern California may seem like a dream local to many, but Emily
wasn’t so sure. She and her husband, Trevor, had relocated from
North Carolina where they were embraced by a family circle. Here they
have a small apartment in which Emily struggles to feel at home.
Just before
Christmas Emily is invited to join four other women for a
pre-Christmas party. Emily is shy and feels uncomfortable in a
setting where the other women are relaxed. She particularly feels
like an outsider because they all have babies and toddlers while her
daughter is ten. It’s particularly stressful because of the
infertility problems Emily and Trevor have experienced.
This is a story of
Christian friendship. The five women band together to share life
stories and support each other. They name their group, Daughters of
Eve. For readers familiar with Gunn’s previous books, Christy and
Sierra will be old friends.
This is a gentle
book. The plot is not exciting or thrilling. It’s the story of
women and friendship. Many of the scenes are the women, either in
pairs, or all together sharing their tears and joy. It’s a story
that encourages women to realize how important friendship is. No one
has to feel alone in trying circumstances.
I received this book
from Waterbrook Multnomah for this review.
