PROS:
Short, fast paced novella; Fans of the O'Malley siblings will enjoy
this novella
CONS: none
Jennifer,
the youngest of the O'Malley siblings, finally has a novella all to
herself. Long before The
Negotiator
or any other O'Malley story was ever told, Jennifer's love story
began to unfold. A busy pediatric physician living in Texas,
Jennifer soon meets Tom, a handsome, and single, surgeon. What
starts out as friendship, soon leads to both falling in love and
contemplating marriage. Tom introduces Jennifer to Jesus, but can
she introduce him to her family?
Dee
Henderson, a well known author of christian fiction, brings readers
back together to experience a true love story, and the beginning of
the O'Malley series. In true Henderson form, Jennifer's story is so
eloquently written that even the toughest of subjects (cancer) can be
brought front and center and discussed in a way that leaves hope for
the hopeless. But as we learn throughout the story, with God we are
never truly hopeless, we always have hope through Him who gives us
strength.
If
you're looking for a fast read, you'll definitely want to check out
this book. 103 short pages, this is easily a read-in-one-sitting
book! Paragraph and chapters flow well, which leads to quick page
turning, which in turn, leads to the end of the book before you know
it!
Fans
of the O'Malley's will love to reconnect with the family they came to
love years ago. And speaking of years ago, the first in the series,
The Negotiator,
was
released almost 9 years ago! While I truly loved Jennifer,
I will admit, I may have to read back through the O'Malley series to
see where her continued story ends up. As mentioned at the end of
this novella, Jennifer's story unfolds throughout the O'Malley
series, so it is not wrapped up neatly by the end of this book.
The
sweet unfolding of Jennifer,
and her introduction to Christ, will leave new readers searching the
shelves for the entire O'Malley Series, books 1-7, which will then
lead them on a search for Henderson's Uncommon Heroes series!
