Heirlooms de Sandra Byrd

At the beginning, I thought this book was going to go into a lot of details about plants and gardening, but it wasn't that way for long. I particularly liked the grandmothers' story in 1958 better than the contemporary story.

Dwell: 90 Days at Home with God de Sandra Byrd

I enjoyed every devotional in this thoughtful book! Sandra Byrd shares personal stories of her home care, family, and gardening experiences paired with a verse or verses of scripture. Each devotional helped me focus on the things of God and the scripture verse or passage gave me something to take into my day to meditate upon. It was lovely from start to finish.

I was delighted to be able to read this pre-release through Netgalley. I loved it and cannot wait to add the final released copy to my library. It would be a great gift for the women in my life, too.… (mais)

Heirlooms de Sandra Byrd

My book club is discussing Heirlooms by Sandra Byrd this month. I would characterize this novel as women’s fiction with strong themes of family and friendship. The book shifts back and forth between two time periods, and the main characters are Helen and Eunhee and their granddaughters, Cassidy and Grace. Cassidy arrives back on Whidby Island, Washington following her grandmother’s death and is tasked with sharing long kept secrets as well as continuing her grandmother’s legacy. I really liked this book with its juxtaposition of challenges the women faced. Both storylines are compelling, and the characters are well-developed. There is a reference to a Korean saying that is translated as a taste of her hands, indicating how each woman takes the traditional and adds her own unique take. While the phrase originally relates to cooking, I loved how the author applies it to other traditions/expectations while showing how a person to forges a new path. I love this saying and have found it pertinent in many things in my own life. There is a strong faith thread that runs naturally throughout the book.

I really liked Heirlooms and heartily recommend it. You are going to want to talk about it too, so grab a reading buddy or your book club and dig in. (Note: the author has a great book club resource available on her website.)

Highly Recommended.

Audience: adults.
