I finished My (not so) Storybook Life by Elizabeth Owen. She's also the author of the blog Mabel's House, which I've been reading for years. The book is a memoir that mainly discusses her life as it relates to her relationship with a friend who has cancer, which strongly affected her life view and actions, and especially her perception of God. Each chapter is started with a story about famous literary characters brought into the modern world, which act as introductions to relevant stories in Liz's life. I loved the stories and her epilogue and conclusion are meaningful and heartfelt.
Next I'm going to read The Snow Angel by Glenn Beck. Millie gave it to me for Christmas. The cover flap says: "The Snow Angel is a poignant tale about family, forgiveness, and the freedom to live a future free of the past." I don't know much about it, but it will be interesting to see how Glenn does with fiction.
