Good Book - The Edge of Belonging - Amanda Cox - Reviewed by: ERChin


 Adopted women may well relate to this story best.  They know there's always that vague, elusive 'something' that just feels off.  The same was with Ivy Rose, one of the main characters of this story.

Some of the stories she was told about her adoption just didn't add up.  However, the family she did have were as loving as could be with extra special attachment with "Uncle" Harvey James, an enigma in and of himself, but as kind-hearted as could be.   

Did Grandmother actually know more than she let on or have a secret life of her own?   Since her grandmother's death, Ivy uncovered some amazing things about her and how so overridingly caring she was especially for those who were dealt with unjustly.  By the grace and love of God, coupled with those who loved her surrounding her, Ivy fits the pieces together bit by shocking bit.    All these with the caring help of Reese.  Finally, she found a place to rest and belong, without that nagging feeling.

Altogether, this has been a wonderfully pleasing and cheering story.  Adding in the faith in the Lord aspect, what's not to love about it?
