Still Life



Two families whose lives coincide under the worst of circumstances. Two families whose lives will never be the same again. 

Ada is a young newly married woman, a former sect member, hardly knowing how to navigate the modern world.

Katherine is in a less-than-perfect marriage and one of her decisions changes her world forever.

Their lives intersect under tragic conditions and still, life goes on.

I really enjoyed reading Still Life by Christa Parrish. The characters and dialogue were believable. I enjoy character driven stories..characters who question and try to navigate life's messiness. The beautiful, detailed, descriptive writing helped me visualize the story so well. I wondered how it was all going to work out. And the end.. was it going to be a fairy tale ending or not? You'll have to read it to find out.

Several themes here... cults, love, choices, mercy, new life.  I read recently that you often don't get over hard things, but you can get through them.

This book reminded me of that. You might want to read it.

Oh, I received this book free from Booklookbloggers in exchange for an honest review.
