Beyond Shattered Dreams by Lindsay A. Marcum

Review

Oh my stars is this book amazing!!!! It is romantic, sweet, heartwarming and totally beautiful!!!!!!!!!! I just love a good, clean Christian romance full of hope and God’s love; and that is exactly what this fabulous novel is! (Also this book was sent to me by the author. Which is totally amazing!!!!! And it’s signed!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Ms. Lindsay!)

This book is about Anne Quinn, a hopeless romantic who believes love can change anyone’s heart. That is till her boyfriend leaves for a year for deployment and all her dreams come crashing down. So Anne changes her focus, while waiting for Prescott to return, she becomes a foster mom. Excited to help the lost children find a hope, Anne wasn’t ready for a very special girl to be dropped in her lap; but it seems like God has a different plan for her. And maybe His plan can help heal her Shattered Dreams…

What to say about this novel besides Amazing, Fabulous Read, Beautifully Written Masterpiece! (Mind you, book 1 was all those things too!) This novel is soooo sweet and cute! The romance in it is realistic, it really shows the ups and downs of a relationship. The focus on trusting God with everything is sooo inspiring, I found myself praying along throughout the story. This book walks you through a life of love and hope, showing what it can be like to really give God all that you have. And I just loved it!!!

Now there are some tough topics brought up in the novel. Mention of fear of losing loved ones, mention of war, pain, PTSD and such. As well as mention of fostering kids from broken homes who are afraid of being hit or abused. Here is the thing, that is the world! So having it in this book only strengths the story and shows the love of God through those who help! I think girls 15 and up could read this book just fine and fall in love with it like I did.

Overall, AMAZING!!! Totally love it, I have been hugging it and reading it all week. (I would of read it sooner had my houses waterline not broke 😉 ) I definitely suggest this book to any young lady 15 and up looking for a clean, inspiring, heartwarming novel!!! (You should also go read book 1!!!) Have a Book-Filled Day! -The Young Llama Reader.
