Book Review: Angel Sister by Ann H. Gabhart

It is 1936 and Kate Merritt is trying hard to keep her family together. Her father has slipped into alcoholism, her mother tries to come to grips with their dire financial situation, and her sisters seem to remain blissfully oblivious to all of it. Kate could never have imagined that a dirty, abandoned little girl named Lorena Birdsong would be just what her family needs.

In this richly textured novel, award-winning author Ann H. Gabhart reveals the power of true love, the freedom of forgiveness, and the strength to persevere through troubled times, all against the backdrop of a sultry Kentucky summer.

I LOVED Angel Sister by Ann H. Habhart! It is not often that I find a fiction book that I really enjoy, but this was one of them. The characters were believable and ones you could relate to. I was drawn in by their stories and their struggles, finding myself feeling their pain and caring about what happened in their lives. It was a book that was able to make me both laugh and cry, which is a rare pleasure.

As the characters endured trials such as poverty, loss, war, addiction, and just plain difficult people who are hard to love, I was able to even learn from them as they sought to lean upon God for strength and grace in their times of greatest need. I really don’t think there is too much else I can say except that I would highly recommend this book – it was a very enjoyable read! And though I have not read any other books by Gabhart, I heard from a friend that her other stories are just as delightful, so I am definitely curious to check them out.
