Broken Things by Andrea Boeshaar

Reviewed by Michelle Shocklee

BROKEN THINGS by Andrea Boeshaar is a must-read book! This thought-provoking story touches the heart, reminding us that nothing is impossible for God if we will simply seek Him and obey His call. It is a story of love and friendship, forgiveness and restoration. It is a story of faith and hope, sadness and joy. It is simply a story every person needs to read.

Mrs. Boeshaar has created characters with real problems, real emotions, and causes the reader to care what happens to each individual. We empathize with Allie as she strives to mend relationships broken years before. We feel Jack's anger and yearn for him to find peace. We smile as Logan and Marilee fall in love, and weep when sadness strikes. We feel pity and compassion for Cynthia, wishing we could help this pathetic, lost creature find her way before it's too late. Even secondary characters are brought to life in a way that makes them real and important to the outcome of the story. Mrs. Boeshaar's flawless description allows the reader to practically see, touch and smell what the characters see, touch and smell, bringing us ever deeper into the story.

BROKEN THINGS is a book any reader would enjoy, but especially those of us with broken or wounded relationships that need mending.
