Desert Gift

by Sally John
Hennepin County Library paperback 378 pages
genre: Christian fiction, relationships

sad
marriage expert Jillian Galloway
doctor husband

page 186 - first time I sobbed. Jill's sister Viv talking to husband Marty. "It hurts so bad." "I know, babe, I know."


page 230 - Jill's mom Daisy telling story about having Viv ten months later . . . Martian. *Agnes* makes comment and Jill's observation that her mom really loved her.

































page 246-7 - Bus accident . . . Agnes dead . . . so very sad. "Jack was . . . far away."

page 324 - Letting go of garbage.


I'm blogging this on 11.8.16 from notes I wrote a few weeks ago!

Main take-aways:
This book really made me sad. It also made me want to become a woman like Agnes - firm in faith, caring about others, not shy about reaching out and speaking truth. Beautiful in her faithfulness to God.
