ROOTS OF WOOD AND STONE by AMANDA WEN

Publication date 26/1/21
ROOTS OF WOOD AND STONE by AMANDA WEN is a most enjoyable split time novel with great characters in both of the time frames. I like the way the two stories come together and are held together by the old farmhouse.
When Garrett Anderson, a financial planner, comes down to the old farmhouse to help his sister Lauren sort out their grandmother's affairs, he finds an old satchel that he dumps on Sloane Kelley, the Sedgwick museum's historical curator's, desk. She is ready to throw it out until she comes across a diary which she finds out later belonged to Annabelle Collins 150 years ago. Sloane becomes hooked on Annabelle's story, especially when Garrett finds more diaries, which she devours. Sloane and Garrett become good friends and seem to really understand one another. In fact it is the first time that Sloane, who was left on a bus as a baby and adopted, feels as though she is worth something and accepted for herself - no longer plan B!
Throughout the novel we get the message of God's care for His children and that we need to submit to His plans for our life rather than following our own ways. Also we are reminded of the importance of forgiveness and the fact that each of us is special in God's eyes.
Roots Of Wood And Stone is a really beautiful read and one I highly recommend.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Independent Publishers Group.The opinions in this review are completely my own.
