The Gardins of Edin by Rosey Lee

5.0

It’s been awhile since I’ve read a contemporary novel. This story captured me from the description to the final sweet moment.

We follow the journey of four women who have been hurt by grief in their family. They each have to forge their path to forgiveness, love and acceptance.

The sister Martha and Mary were my favorite characters to follow. Martha was the older and annoying sister. To see her faith and acceptance grow was beautiful. Mary struggled with being anxiety and had a traumatic past and present. I rooted for her to find her voice and when she did, she did not disappoint.

Ruth had been married into the family (twice) similar to Ruth in the Bible. She wore the weight of responsibility and she wore it well while dealing with her own grief. My heart long for her mistreatment within the family.

Naomi was the sweetest and I’m so glad she got her happy ending
