Jessica's Reviews > Secrets

Really enjoyed this book a LOT. It dealt with so many themes, but all were woven so intricately together...very impressed with the writing abilities of this author, Kristen Heitzmann. This was the first book of hers that I had read. It will NOT be the last, as this book is the first of a trilogy and I've already purchased the second one. The main character of this story, Rese, is a very strong, independent woman, who has learned the hard way, to stand on her own two feet. Like many of us, she'd built up walls to shut others out, thinking that by letting others get close to her, it somehow made her weak. Through a series of events, she opens her heart to friendship, love and faith and sees just how important all three of those play in her daily life. In just 423 pages, she experiences joy, happiness, success, sadness, sorrow, grief and loss. She discovers a history with Christ she had shut out and ultimately opens up to Him and realizes how much she's missed in life by not accepting His gift of salvation and unconditional love. You won't be able to put this book down. It's an incredible read.
