Just when I think I know my favorite Katie Ganshert novel, she releases another one. And this might be her best yet. Based on true events, No One Ever Asked confronts a myriad of issues from the harsh realities of racism and the increased segregation of our school system to family relationships and transracial adoptions. This is a beautiful story of three very different women and the way their lives intersect for the better. Jen’s adoption struggles were eye-opening and inspiring. Camille’s family issues were realistic and changed my perception of her throughout the book. But Anaya’s story was my favorite. I loved how strong and caring she was and loved being able to see life through her eyes, especially the prejudices inherent in our society. However, what amazed me the most in this book was the complexity of each storyline. Their stories are so well-developed that Anaya, Camille, and Jen each could have their own book. But, instead of their stories suffering from being shared, their stories beautifully intersect and enrich one another, creating a compelling picture of a divided community on its way to healing. Life doesn’t give us one struggle at a time and each woman faced multiple problems simultaneously throughout the book. In a world where even contemporary fiction has a tendency to become fantasy, it is always refreshing to meet characters that struggle. Characters that have flaws but don’t let their flaws define them. Characters that inspire you to persevere and believe and “be the change where you’re at.” And that’s exactly what I get every time I read one of Katie Ganshert’s novels. I loved this story and, as with most of her novels, I cried at the end. Because at its core, it’s a story of broken people becoming whole and completely free in Christ. We cannot escape the past, but through Christ, we can all experience freedom.
