It’s a beautiful story of hope and faith. Never lose hope of light when you find yourself in dark. It is a story of a woman who had a troubled marriage. She is trying to make a new beginning after her husband died a year ago with her five year old son.
There is a rainbow after rain and there is a bright sky after dark night. Things will change to good one day. Bad things happen but it is only hope and faith which keeps you alive, which keeps you going. Have a little faith in almighty, he is watching you over. Who knows what you will find, when you turn the page, all you may see is a bright color rainbow, jovial and enchanted.
Life is another name of hope, life is somewhere you will find a rainbow.
Very strong gospel message that’s delivered by the actions and lifestyle of the characters in this story rather than getting preached at. There are a few scenes where Bible verses and stories are discussed but they occur organically and fit the storyline well.
Author, Yvonne Lehman, is a seasoned writer who knows the area she’s chosen for this story. I’ve been to this little island off the coast of S. Carolina and could picture it quite well from her descriptive prose. All the weather, flora, beaches and architectural imagery was perfect.
All of the primary adult characters had been hurt from bad relationships and were in various stages of learning to trust God, the opposite sex, themselves and each other. Trust is the key theme for “Somewhere a Rainbow”. Each has a unique circumstance but these 3, (2 single adult siblings and a recent young widow), are drawn together along with 4 total kids, a rambunctious puppy and a dilapidated bungalow, to create an extended family by need choice and eventually by trust, faith & love📚
We all do things wrong. We all struggle to live the Christian life. Somewhere a Rainbow shows two people learning to do just that. It will make your heart smile.
This was a light and easy, clean read and I thought it was enjoyable. I could emphasize with both Brooke and Jake. Watching them work through their individual issues and their relationship was heart-warming. I do recommend this book.
its a perfect story that i love to read. it refers to Christianity beyond the romance. i'd love to read more of heart song presents and i've enjoyed it so much! i was so 'cited to read the twentieth chapter!!.... i hope to see a person like Jake Randolph in this world! they matched perfectly well.
She's a widow left with nothing but her little boy and a wrecked beach cottage. He's a man that has been to prison but has found Christ. They teach each other snd learn to love each other
A beautifully written book that demonstrated how God's love for us is never ending and all caring. That God loves us and blesses daily and that sometimes we do not realize that He is heaping His love and blessings on us until we look back and reflect on what is happaning. This book was a good example of how a good book of fiction should be written. It was easy to bond with the characters; Brooke, Jake, Ben and littleTaz. I would like to read more stories about them. Thank you for a wonderfully written story with good language and a good story line. It was worth staying up all night to finish reading it.
Great read! You fall in love with the characters and root for them along than say. The laugh out loud moments caught me unaware and were much appreciated. Would love to read the story in a setting of 5 years from now to meet the couple again. Thank you for writing a great romance!
I gave this book four stars because I didn't get into this book is they did the others as much. However, I liked the message it gave. I look forward to reading the next book.
This is a straight-forward, super clean and godly story. You see a great example of a Christian man, a mixup in understanding for understandable reasons, and some lessons in dog training and how to live.
I loved this beautiful love story about second chance and following God's will. The storyline and characters were engaging. This book is recommended for those who love Christian.
This was a wonderful story well wrote about finding forgiveness, love and hope. I couldn't put the story down. Like so many of Yyonne books they were a very precious Christian story to read.
The two main characters have been through tough times but have come through their trials with a strong faith. Even with their strong faith, they had trust issues and secrets from their past that they had to overcome. A sweet and heart-warming story.
