Book review for: Crossed Lines
published by Bethany House
Author of Crossed Lines: Jennifer Delamere
Such an exquisitely written book! Written like an intricately detailed triptych, which challenges
the reader to think about the characters, their current situation, and what may happen in the future.
I love this kind of writing, in which you get a delicious helping of creative thinking!
Every sentence is important, and every sentence builds the storyline. The cover of Crossed Lines was
very nice, it drew me in, and it gave correct information about the well-developed plot within it's covers.
Jennifer Delamere really excelled with this book! I've never read ANY of her books, and now I'm so happy
that I have finally done myself this favor.
After reading and reviewing dozens of books for years, it's important to me to find a gifted writer, who is actively
marketing her stories. Christian historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. I've had to plod through a lot of
boring or badly written CHF books in the past, and it's irritating.
The story is reminiscent of Cyrano and Roxanne, but not overly much. A partly disabled man falls in love with a woman
at his workplace, but she falls in love with someone else. Who happens to be the disabled man's best friend. Delamar's
descriptions of the problems that face physically disabled people were accurate. The prejudices we show towards
some with disabilities was also gently highlighted. I liked Mitchell, and Emma and Christopher very much, and Emma's friend
Rose was easy to like, too. Emma is an intelligent but young woman, in search of a happy home and family. Her friend Rose was
just the right kind of person to keep Emma on the right track, as she looked for love and contentment. The ending was great, I really liked that.
Mrs. Delamere spoke of salvation, and Jesus Christ, at just the right times in the storyline. I do recommend this book to anyone,
older women to young adult women, even teens.
