About the Book
Upon her return from her best friend Charlie’s wedding, Victoria found that the beautiful city of Chicago had never seemed emptier and neither had her soul. She realized she was surrounded by all the people in the world and she still felt lonely. Deciding to take her friend Charlie’s advice and make a change in her life, she packed her bags and moved to the west coast of Florida. Little did she know that the young Amish girl that she met on the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico would begin a spiral of emotional changes for both of them.
MY TWO CENTS
New Beginnings lived up to its name. It was about new beginnings, fresh starts. When you have made poor decisions and you life is a mess, who doesn’t want to a new beginning?
This was such an encouraging book! Pamela Jo wrote from her heart; it was very touching and showed vulnerability and how God uses that to His glory. It reminded me of God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness – how thankful I am for those blessing from the Lord.
The story line was well thought out and the characters were well written. I felt like I was right there watching the story unfold. I am anxiously waiting for the second book!
I give New Beginnings 4 out of 5 stars. You don’t want to miss this encouraging read!
