The House on Malcolm Street Reviewed
Book Description: When tragedy steals her future, can Leah learn to trust again?
It is the autumn of 1920, and Leah Breckenridge is desperate to find a way to provide for her young daughter. After losing her husband and infant son, she is angry at God and fearful about the days ahead. Finding refuge in a boardinghouse run by her late husband's aunt, Leah begins the slow process of mending her heart.
Is it the people who surround her--or perhaps this very house--that reach into her heart with healing? As Leah finds peace tending to an abandoned garden, can she find a way to trust God with her future?
A beautifully simple story about the complexities of life, The House on Malcolm Street is a treasure.
My Thoughts: This is the first book I've read by Leisha Kelly, and it won't be the last. It was definitely full of realistic emotion. Having been through a divorce and loosing a child I could definitely identify with Leah's anger. However, Leisha does a beautiful job of showing how Leah's heart begins to mend and change. This is a beautiful book and I highly recommend it!
