Review of To Whisper Her Name

Title: To Whisper Her Name

Author: Tamera Alexander

Series:  A Belle Meade Plantation Novel

 

Pages: 475

Genre: Christian Historical Fiction, Christian Historical Romance

Rating: 5 stars

     Another great read from Tamera Alexander. To whisper Her Name combined two of my favorite things into one awesome novel horses and history. Most of the books that I read come alive to me in many ways. This book was no different. However To Whisper her Name came alive to me in ways that books have never come alive before. I think that it was because I have actually been to Belle Meade and know what the house and grounds look like.

     I feel in love with the characters of Olivia Aberdeen and Ridley Adam Cooper. I cannot wait till the next book in the series.

                Still Lolo is a memoir of Lauren Scruggs and her family and the tragedy that changed their lives. But through all of it they didn’t lose their faith. Though Lauren lost her left eye and hand in an accident with an airplane poralle she didn’t let that stop here. She’s uses what she went through to reach young girls. To show them that worth is not in what they look like, but who they are on the inside.

     The book has an introduction by Bethany Hamilton the young surfer who lost her arm to a shark bite. Both young women stood strong in their faith in God. He was there strength when they had none. 

     I enjoyed Lauren’s story and learned a lot. Still Lolo is a heartwarming story of courage, strength, and overcoming life’s struggles.
