The Widow of Saunders Creek

The Widow of Saunders Creek

I very much enjoyed this book. Corrie's husband, Jarrod, dies a hero, saving others from a suicide bomber. Corrie is distraught and struggling to deal with her grief. She inherits a family home from her husband in the Ozarks. She decides to move there as she believes she will feel closer to her husband in a place he grew up. Jarrod's cousin, Eli, helps Corrie with the repairs on the house and they become very close. Eli is a Christian and helps to lead Corrie to find Jesus, again. Many in Jarrod's family, though, dabble in witchcraft. What I loved about this book is that it explores the issue of witchcraft from a biblical standpoint. God speaks out against witchcraft and I love that this book depicts that witchcraft exists but that it is not from God and therefore - evil. 

This was a very well written book and was very enjoyable to read.
