An Honest Heart

By Richard Siddoway and Richard Siddoway (Other Contributor)

For Jennica Cooper, life is hard and God is a stranger. But when two LDS sister missionaries befriend her, she begins to see the world--and herself--in a whole new light. In this moving tale of hope and change, popular author Richard M. Siddoway tells the story of a young woman who learns to accept responsibility for her actions. As Jennica travels the road to repentance, she experiences both the difficulty of making amends and the joy of being forgiven. She also experiences the peace that comes from having an honest heart.

An Honest Heart

An Honest Heart aptly captures the core of what ails a good bit of our society. The writer composes an acutely focused account with an eye to particulars, and an understanding of the wretchedness foisted onto children when parents do not or cannot provide the refuge, security and guidance so needed for children during the formative years. Characters are not always likeable, however they are well developed, dialog is absorbing, gritty at times, and compelling. The blunders, misinterpretation and mistakes made by Jennica as she searches for balance in her life are ones most of us face at one time or another. Trust, understanding and acceptance are all part of Jennica's redemption as she comes to understand that life does not always hand us an easy way or gentle dealings. As Jennica learns to deal with problems in a calm, God led manner, her life becomes more endurable and gratifying. While written with a distinct Mormon flavor for the Mormon reading audience An Honest Heart will interest all readers who enjoy well written tales filled with robust motivation, breach of faith, propensity and a ticklish story line. An Honest Heart is an excellent choice for the home library, the personal reading shelf and homeschool high school curriculum. Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend.
