Sweet Sanctuary
by Kim Vogel Sawyer
From Baker Publishing Website:
A Story of Hope and Love Set Against the Backdrop of World War II
Lydia Eldredge longs to provide sanctuary for her young son, Nicky. But a constant threat comes from Nicky's drug-addicted father, who wants the boy and seems willing to do whatever it takes to get him.
Dr. Micah Hatcher faithfully serves the immigrant population of Queens, New York. But under cover of darkness, he has a secret mission that challenges everything he thought he wanted out of life.
When Lydia and Micah's paths cross, they are suddenly wrapped up in each other's callings. Together, they seek a refuge of safety--for Nicky, for themselves, and for the needy people God puts into their lives. Amid turmoil and discord, can hope and love prevail?
My thoughts:
The characters sold me on this book. I feel in love with them. I felt there pain, their hardships, their love. I felt the struggles Lydia of keeping Nikky save and wanting to help others.
Micah really holds these characters together. You realize all that Micah does for others in the clinic, his brother, Lydia's family. You feel for Micah and I love how Micah just steps up and solves problems for others and never thinks of himself until the very end.
I enjoyed watching the characters each face their struggles head on and how they would seek God's help and advice.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
And yes, I received this book for free from Bethany House for this review. But I told the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!
