Inspiring Tale from Sara Brunsvold

 

The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold

“Clara Kip had prayed repeatedly to die in Sao Paulo.  It truly seemed the smallest of requests.  People died in Brazil every day.  What was one more?  Especially one who had dreamed of the country most of her life.  The Lord, however, gave her Kansas.”

And with these intriguing sentences, we dive into Clara Kip’s extraordinary life.  She has checked in—never to leave—Sacred Promise Senior Care Center.  But despite a fatal diagnosis, God isn’t done with Clara yet.  She has one last assignment with young reporter Aidyn Kelley.  And what unfolds from there is an inspiring tale.

I enjoyed the characters in the book, especially Mrs. Kip and the staff at Sacred Promise.  Sara’s writing made them real, and I could tell that she either had experience with the elderly and death or had done much research.

I also enjoyed the way that the plot unfolded.  I was intrigued and wanted to see Mrs. Kip’s adventurous life revealed.  The plot proceeded at a just right pace to keep my attention.

This story will make readers examine their own life and want to discover for themselves the mark that they leave on those around them.  I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for this, my honest review.
