I'm going to leave a long quote that sums up this story perfectly
“You know what I’d like to tell you about your life?”“What?”“Enjoy the moments when you don’t know what’s next. Be excited about them.”“Why would I be excited when I have no plans?”“Because those moments are the slip of time before God reveals your next big journey.” Gram’s words tingled down her spine. "I love that."
I think when we do spur of the moment things those times are the most special. At they are for me.
As Nora and I are learning God puts people in our lives at exactly the right time and place but He also let those people go on to their own journeys in life
I loved this story so much because I'm at the place where Nora is. God just yanked someone out of my life and I am learning to cope with it. It's not easy either.
It's hard losing someone to death or just them walking out of your life to move on.
Makes a person feel like they're stuck.
When I picked this book up I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not but I was pleasantly surprised. It seemed to hit my life head on leaving me to connect with Nora and Ivy.
By the way, I absolutely adored Ivy! Even at the beginning lol.
I feel passionately about this story because it touched me so. That's probably why I wrote such a long review I apologize!
Nora the peacemaker. I like that. That's what I am a peacemaker. Perhaps that's why God put me here. Who knows?
Thanks you for such a moving and powerful novel that I enjoyed very much!
5 stars for a job well done!!!!
My thanks for a copy of this beautiful story. One I won't forget anytime soon! I wasn't required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

Out of the Blue by Jenny Hale was a wonderful story about romance and love. I loved the characters. The characters had strong personalities.
