Letting Misery Go

by Michelle Larks

The Rev. Ruth Wilcox, head minister of a Chicago church, has just about adjusted to life on her own, years after her husband, Daniel, left her. But Daniel suddenly re-enters her life when his second wife spurns him, leaving him to care for their three sons. Ruth's got enough on her plate, what with her mother's Alzheimer's, her best friend's cancer diagnosis, her grown children's dramas. . .and a charming parishioner who's caught her eye. Also, she can't shake the feeling that something is fishy with Daniel. Still, she's long dreamed of reconciling with her first love, and his kids desperately need discipline and spiritual nurturing. In Michelle Larks' Letting Misery Go, Ruth's faith gives her the strength to face a life-altering choice.

I really enjoyed this book. Especially the friendship between Ruth and Alice that has lasted years.
I probably shouldn't have been but I was glad to see Daniel struggle, even still I still wanted the best for the boys. Now I wanna see Lenora get hers. I like Michelle Larks titles and hope to read more from her.

Book 8: Letting Misery Go by Michelle Larks. Rev. Ruth Wilcox had her hands full; family and church. We need to learn to let God lead us, and not make our own decisions. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

This was a good read, the friendship between Ruth & Alice is amazing they are always their for each other, I'm glad that all the family secrets came out and they overcame them. I'm glad Ruth found love again also.
