A friend of mine has brought to my attention that almost all of my reviews are favorable and i must agree with her. I have been very lucky to have received books I thought I would like, of course. However I will attempt to broaden my reading for a more rounded review site... Thank you Lisa.

Falling Into Place: A Memoir of Overcoming by Hattie Kauffman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A remarkable story of strength, hardship and courage. Hattie grew up in childhood that could only be described as heartbreaking. I found myself in tears for her and her siblings at such neglect, and hunger. Despite this she fought to make a success of her life and to bring herself up from poverty, to make a success of her life. She went after what she wanted and did what she needed to, to achieve that success.

After a second failed marriage, she felt something missing from within. She began searching for answers, feeling something was missing from her life. All the while something was pulling her to churches, first one then another. She finally found what she had been missing and what she found surprised her. As a child she never believed in God, and brought that mindset int adulthood with her. Suddenly she found herself hungry, not for food, but for the word of God.

Hattie has shared with us a powerful and inspiring window into her life! What a remarkable novel that will touch anyone who reads it.
