Fragments of Light
by Michele Phoenix
Why should you read this book? For a myriad of reasons! Many women will identify with the struggle of
Ceelia Donovan’s cancer treatment.
Others will appreciate the difficulty that the disease brought on in her
marriage. Still others will enjoy the
historical fiction aspect of World War 2 that the author fleshes out. For me, it was because I have loved Michele
Phoenix’s writing.
This book addresses
issues hidden in many women’s hearts. It
is both complex and intense. The author
explores the meaning of love, forgiveness, and sacrifice.
I loved the
resolution of both Ceelia Donovan’s story and Cal’s story. The author made me
feel some of the angst that Cal must have felt to make his life-altering
decisions. I am not sure that his daughter was wrong to feel bitter about her
absent father. I found myself greatly
admiring Cal’s wife whoA managed to live her life free from bitterness.
The author paced the plot so that the suspense was
maintained. The transfer of the story
from past to present was easily handled and simple for the reader to follow.
This book is a must-read for those who enjoy women’s fiction
or historical fiction which grapples with serious life issues. I am grateful to the author for a free copy
for this, my honest review.
