I recently had the opportunity to read the three novel
collection, A Kingsbury Collection, by Karen Kingsbury. I have read several of Karen Kingsbury’s
books and usually enjoy them to tears. I
had not previously read any of the stand alone novels in this collection. The novels in this collection include: Where
Yesterday Lives, When Joy Came to Stay and On Every Side.
Where Yesterday Lives follows Ellen Barrett, a prize winning
journalist, as she examines her present, revisits her past and dreams of her
future. When Joy Came to Stay is a story
of Maggie Stovall. A woman who appears
to have it all together and finds herself falling apart at every turn. The novel, On Every Side, tells the story of
Faith Evans and her fight to save a precious community statue of Jesus in a
city park and the heart of a boy she knew long ago.
I enjoyed each title in this collection. A couple of the stories included story-lines
related to adoption which is very close to my heart. I love how Karen Kingsbury creates
characters and story-lines that are real, relational and relevant. I would recommend her books to any avid
fiction reader. I strongly recommend the
e-book format. I found the size of this
book to be a bit cumbersome to read and carry.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
