BOOK REVIEW - Pretense

[homesteadmamma]

Pretense written by Lori Wick has on the back cover the following:

Meet the Bishop sisters - Two women at the crossroads of life. On the outside, the Bishop girls appear as different as sisters can be. Mackenzie is a mahogany-haired beauty who's inherited the determined nature of her Army officer father. Her infectious sense of humor and rare gift of imagination are often hidden by a reserved manner. Radiant, blond Delancey views the world through an artist's eyes, drawing what she sees with wide sweeps of emotion. Her charming and trusting personality easily wins friends and admirers, but also leaves her sensitive heart vulnerable to hurt.

As the girls grow, unexpected difficulties threaten their world. Will their life-changing experiences bring them together or tear them apart? Where will they find the love they seek?

This book is the story of 2 sisters, as different as night and day and yet 2 sisters who share their lives in such a wonderful way.

The book tells about areas in their lives where they fail and yet where they have much success as well. Although a book written by a Christian author, this book does not attempt to make these 2 sisters out to be angelsor (or for that matter others in the book as well), far from it. It is one of the reasons why I enjoyed reading this book. So many times, authors are afraid of writing about everyday lives (especially Christian authors).

This is a well written book and highly recommended for a good read. Be warned though, there are 702 pages. I think it could probably have been a fewer less pages, but I actually didn't mind reading all 702 pages.

A great read for the coming winter months.

This sounds like a good read. I'm going to look for it soon.
