A Million Little Choices is an outstanding work of women's fiction. It is a story of God's prevenient grace, of healing in one's soul through engaging with God's Word and mature Christian mentors, and of gaining insight into one's own life through coming to view that life through the lens of eternity. All that sounds very deep and theological, however, these themes are developed within a raw and compelling story of great loss and great love in the life of the main character. Author Tamera Alexander has created the story in a way that encourages readers to apply the discoveries made by her characters to whatever life situation they find themselves in. While a work of fiction, A Million Little Choices contains much truth. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of A Million Little Choices, a Focus on the Family Resource, from Tyndale House Publishers via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
Amazing Dual-Timeline!

My poor heart is in an emotional upheaval since 'A Million Little Choices' shattered it in a million little pieces...and I'm uncertain whether I'll get them all picked up again any time soon. Author Tamera Alexander not only writes fascinating historical fiction but has more than proven she can also write contemporary—in this dual-timeline about two women who live in the same Southern Victorian mansion centuries apart. Two women who share the same problem...spousal betrayal and a marriage that's broken beyond repair. As Claire Powell stumbles upon an old journal written by Charlotte Thursmann in 1863, she uncovers some startling truths about the woman—and herself. If you're looking for sweet and fluffy and a book that leaves God out of the equation, this one isn't for you. However, if you enjoy a story that challenges you—is thought-provoking and focuses on deep issues such as infidelity, forgiveness, and the restoration power of God—give this novel a try. Two quotes taken from this novel, "Life is brutal" "But God!" pretty much sums it up. Unputdownable! *I received an ARC from the publisher and was under no obligation to write a favorable review.*
