52 Weeks Book Challenge

This week I read Not A Sparrow Falls by Linda Nichols. The story begins with an elderly lady, Miss Hattie, who is awakened in the early morning hours to pray for someone but she doesn't know who. In the next chapter we are introduced to Mary Bridget Washburn as she is buying supplies at the local pharmacies in town for her boyfriend and his buddy to make methamphetamine. She is haunted by this lifestyle and one day, steals a duffel bag of money and boards a bus leaving this life behind. Or does she? One thing leads to another and she begins a life in Alexandria Virgina as "Bridie". Bridie gets a job as a check-out girl at the local grocery where she meets three sisters who are caring for their brother, a local pastor, and his family after the death of his wife. Little does she know how their lives will intersect and will her past life bring trouble to them all? This is the first book that I have read by Linda Nichols and I really enjoyed her writing style. Her character development and situations all were very true to life.
