Comment:
This was the first book that I have read by Denise Hunter. I really enjoyed it. The story is very interesting, and the characters are very likeable. She really throws a twist in at the end, and when it is over, you want the story to keep going. She is a very realistic Christian writer. I have been a Christain for over 25 years, and I am far from perfect, neither are her characters. There is a book two to Mending Places called Saving Grace. I plan to order that one as well.

Comment:
Mending Places interested me from the beginning. I read the back cover and wanted to see how the author worked through the conflict. It was a bit slow to start (for me,) but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. The conflict with her sister's marriage was realistic and gut-wrenching, and I wish it had turned out with a happier ending, but hey, that's not reality. In regards to Hanna, I liked the way the author brought everything to a climax toward the ending. I felt Micah's pain as well as Hanna's. It is a wonderful story of forgiveness. Though it may seem unrealistic to some, I've known people in weirder situations. I liked the redemption piece and felt like the author handled the resolution beautifully.

Interesting book

Comment:
This book seemed to have a little bit of everything...romance, suspense, drama, etc. In this book, Hanna is struggling to
keep her family business afloat when she hires Micah. Hanna is struggling with a rape and Micah is struggling with scars
(literally and figuratively) from his childhood. The two make an interesting discovery about the other, but can they save
their budding relationship? I loved how this author brought the two broken souls together, talking about the need to
forgive, and how they need each other to heal.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series. That book will focus more on Natalie, who was introduced in "Mending Places", but I'm still hoping to get a glimpse into Hanna and Micah's life and how they work through their relationship. The
author did such a good job making it clear how much the two loved each other.

Summary:
the first book i've returned to the publisher

Comment:
This book was unrealistic in it's character's emotional processing and the events that took place are highly unlikely. Author depends a lot on God's character and grace and attributes it to human characters... I'm sorry, but if i was raped horribly and it took ,what seems like,less than 24 hours to forgive the person who did it... that would be miraculous, but it is written normal as can be in this story. secondary characters were given far too much detail only to leave readers hanging in the end; thinking their involvment would have been more meaningful. Vague references to time passing " and they talked late into the night" (about what? why even mention it?), filler material that wasnt necessary.
sorry to say, but i took the offer to return it to publisher for my refund. have yet to receive the refund, but that's a whole other story...

An amazing look at forgiveness

Comment:
Where do we draw the line? Are some things too big for us--or for God--to forgive? Denise Hunter tackles this question in a way that shows God's ability to transform broken lives. A highly recommended read.
