Sometimes, we need to fall in order to be reminded how strong we truly are. But this can be hard to remember when we feel we have done everything we can to be our best, and we still end up hurt.
Paige finds herself trying to adjust to a new life in a new town with her two young boys after her husband leaves her for his mistress. Amidst the heartbreak and bitterness, she joins a book club where she makes life-long friends and starts a new job where she meets Derryl, a man who actually treats her right.
As Paige struggles to hold her life and family together, she becomes involved in the lives of those women from the book club and is reminded of the joy that comes in living a wonderful life. She is able to see change happen, both for those women and for herself, and begins to trust and hope again.
PAIGE, authored by Annette Lyon, beautifully illustrates the pain of starting new coupled with the glory of freedom and the realization of truth. Despite all of her hard work and dedication, Paige’s life is turned upside-down - as ours so often is. However, she clings to her belief that God would not leave her alone and that He must have a plan for her. So, she carries on, mostly for the sake of her sons, and begins her journey into her new life as a single mom.
This book is simple in essence, but draws the reader in as a side-line cheerleader for Paige and her family. The story is heart-felt and readers will connect with the characters and follow Paige as she pulls herself up and becomes a better woman and mom for it.
