MY REVIEW:
While divorce is never the best option from a Christian viewpoint, sometimes it is just downright unavoidable. Finding herself divorced against her own wishes, Kimberly has had great difficulty dealing with her situation and it seemed as if her ex would do almost anything to make things more difficult for her. After losing one more traumatic court battle over summer custody of her sons, Kimberly’s wise father insisted upon her going to the family beach house in Cedar Key, Florida to find a new housekeeper. Although she didn’t want to go, Kimberly complied and soon found that her short beach vacation would change her life forever. Not only does she make new friends and renew an old romance, but Kimberly is forced to face and deal with truths about herself, her family, and secrets from the past.
Chasing Sunsets is the perfect book for long hot summer days. The reader can mentally escape to the beach as she enjoys a great story of self discovery and second chances. With realistically portrayed characters and situations, Chasing Sunsets is both entertaining and emotionally charged. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.
