Playing by Heart by Anne Mateer
5.0
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Playing by Heart by Anne Mateer. It is a story about how Lula Bowman moves home to help her sister during WWI. She takes a job as a music teacher at the local school and coaches the girls' basketball team. The only problem is that she knows nothing about basketball and there are no YouTube videos available to help her, only a small brochure to teach her the game. Math teacher and boys' basketball coach Chet Vaughn, offers to help her. The story alternates between the two characters point of view.
Playing by Heart is a sweet story with so many wonderful themes. It speaks to laying down your dreams to God and asking the Lord to give you new dreams, of the power of forgiveness and how unforgiveness leads to bitterness, and allowing the Lord to show you who you are in Him. The characters are developed nicely and Lula Bowman character speaks to your heart.
I give the book 5 stars and highly encourage you to read it!
