Title: A Bigger Life Author: Annette Smith Publisher: NavPress ISBN: 1-57683-995-8 Genre: Inspirational/Contemporary/Romance
Single dad, Joel Carpenter, is raising his three-year-old son, Colton, among a host of friends. Single dads, they hang out together and offer each other support and friendship. When Carpenter’s ex-wife, Kari, becomes ill, this support system is invaluable.
Joel and his friend Abe are hair dressers in the same shop. Joel began as a barber, but society’s shift to salons took his job—especially in a small Texas town. When the love of his life, Kari, leans on him during her illness, it is the interaction in the salon and kindness of strangers where he finds help. The love from Christians pulls him toward a relationship with God.
Smith’s book is full of quirky characters and unique descriptions with a definite Texas flavor. Bittersweet, the story reflects unconditional love and forgiveness. The back and forth time spans in chapters keeps you on your toes as you turn pages and discover love rekindled. |
