Painted Memories by A.M. Heath
4.0
Just a memory? How can you paint just a memory?
Painted Memories was my first book by A.M. Heath, and I really enjoyed this look into an era that does not often find its way into the realm of fiction (at least to my knowledge). A.M. Heath has a very conversational way of writing that was easy to follow, and I really enjoyed the heart touching memories she recounted through her characters. Olivia, Grady, and the other characters were nicely done, and they were fun to read about. I thought their struggles were realistic (it's so hard not to give away the story here!), and that all the characters showed a great reliance on faith to see them through.
Overall, this story was like a reminisce of your favorite flashbacks to growing up combined with some shocking revelations that were handled well. A.M. Heath wove in some wonderful scriptures and I truly loved the memories she invented for her characters. I give Painted Memories 4 out of 5 stars. The only thing I had trouble with was the back and forth between past and present, it got pretty confusing at points when combined with switching between points of view (POV) I had to flip back and remember who, what, when, and where this scene was supposed to fit! But the overall story was very sweet.
