Mothers and Daughters: From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a captivating family drama

Product Information

This is a collection of carefully crafted stories based on assumed details that simply are not present in the Biblical text, and in some cases a small inaccuracy in scriptural interpretation is presented as a key point of the chapter. The historical context is often misinterpreted with the lens of modern culture. The sovereignty of God and his purposes are almost entirely ignored such that the reader will very likely fail to give God glory for his work through these people. Study questions at the end of each chapter are self reflection and self help rather than a study of God’s faithfulness and fulfillment of his promises. There are a handful of insightful comments throughout the book (e.g., the parallel between New and Old Testament Josephs), but they are surrounded by too much inaccuracy, misinterpretation, and speculation to be worth reading. Since her husband Colin died a couple of years ago, Naomi has quietly rebuilt her life in Anchor House in the coastal village of Tilsham. She has reconnected with Ellis, who she knew during uni. Romance has blossomed between them but what will her two daughters think? These spiritual mothers spoke to me about my own "spiritual mothers," those that shared love and wisdom with me along the way. Feeling quite blessed, as my own "Mom," and gra.ndmas were oh so precious to me.

Erica James is most firmly on my favourite author list; I’ve read virtually all of her books over the years from the very first one and she never disappoints. A captivating story about a mother’s relationship with her two daughters, to protect them she has kept secrets and her daughters now understanding their mother is a free and independent woman, she has every right to live where she chooses, start a new relationship and fall in love. Fight Night is set in Toronto, where a preternaturally wise and precocious 9-year old girl, Swiv, is parenting her pregnant mother and her loveably outgoing and outspoken grandmother. The novel is written in the form of an extended letter to Swiv’s father, who has gone missing with no word of goodbye. The three women, and “Gord,” the unborn child, are left to fend for themselves. Which they do with wit, anger, good humor and plain old stubbornness. She searched his face, open and sweet, he has such a sweet face, she thought. She reached up and touched his mouth with one ungloved hand. This morning we were spreading the Christmas cheer at the HQ offices and giving away copies of @SarahMorgan_'s #TheChristmasBookClub! 🎄☕⭐

Madlen came to sit beside her on the bed. "Lady Queen," she said with her own particular brand of rough gentleness. "It is not the job of the child to protect her mother.

Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. The latest, Mothers and Daughters I loved. The central characters are Naomi, a strong and resilient character, widowed after a long marriage to Colin. Her two adult daughters Martha, who is determined, bossy, organised to the nth degree and her father’s favourite and then there is Willow. The youngest and the most indecisive, who drifts along in life not really having a focus of what she wants to do. Each woman has their own memory of Colin who casts his shadow over their lives, even after his death.

I think about following her, but I want to give Zoe a minute alone with her mother. I want them to have the shift and redistribution of their relationship that I never got to have with my own mom, that acrobatic feat of love where everything is turned upside down and yet they are both still able to keep their balance.” I received a copy of Mothers and Daughters from NetGalley and Harlequin Australia in exchange for an honest review, this is the first book I have read by Erica James, and it won’t be my last and five stars from me.The other niggle was the way one of the characters were dealt with at the end.
