Customer Reviews

Rebecca's Rose is perfect!

I just finished reading this today and I cannot express just how much I loved this entire book! I started reading it an hour before bedtime and could not put it down until I could no longer keep my eyes open (p.250/335; @4:45am.) The dialog is endearing and witty. The story is clever and deeply meaningful. The spiritual aspect is poignant and relevant, full of powerful truth! From these characters I gained a richer, deeper understanding of love and forgiveness; what they are, and the power they hold. I may even read it again tomorrow, (on an 8 hour car trip), just to savor it further.
