Only Uni by Cami Tang
This is Trish Sakai’s story and yet it becomes your story or the story of someone you know. Trish has truly found God, but doesn’t quite understand she isn’t required to follow man made rules to be devoted to Him.
Trish’s culture is very different from my own Midwest upbringing making this story unique for me. I enjoyed learning about her Asian culture, which is a character of its own.
Tang has a fresh way of integrating the Christian message in her books. I read the last page and my desire to know became a raging fire. I want to know more about Christ and what God desires for me.
With her sassy dialogue and intriguing characters Tang brings the reality of living a Christ-filled life into the real world—a world where people fumble, take wrong turns and find out they are still loved by family, friends and God.
Tangs writing is fun, engaging and encouraging. Get this book, but first if you haven’t read it get Sushi for One, then prepare for a fun evening of reading because you won’t want to put these books down. You may not even want to loan them to your friends because they are books you’ll want to read again.
Whispers of the Bayou by Mindy Starns Clark
I didn’t think it was possible to bring back the feeling of being young, a library book in my hands
Clark has found a fountain of youth. At least for me with Whispers of the Bayou she transported me back to my youth, where I spent my summers devouring every Daphne Du Maurier the library had on their shelves. Clark’s book had me gasping, quivering in terror and when the story ended I didn’t want to read another book for several days. I just wanted to savor the glorious feeling of having read a well-written suspense story.
Kudos to Clark I will be purchasing her other books soon. And my copy of Whispers of the Bayou will not be lent to anyone, so don’t ask. This is a keeper!
