Julie's Review for Joy In Our Journey:
A Woman of Fortune, by Kellie Coates Gilbert, highlights some very relevant, nearly earth shaking problems and events with which our glutinous and moneyhungry society is plagued. The family is central to the story, the characters are typical American who have become rich beyond anyone’s highest hopes and dreams. Moneyrich, spiritually poor. When it all comes crashing down in an unbelievably and horrific series of events, the family is left with no trust and many deficits.
Crawling out of the hole of failure, deceit, dishonesty, and greed is the central theme of this story and for each of the characters it
takes a different path. Surrounding them all during this time is a very real sense of need for God and His peace and comfort, but
they are all very slow on the uptake and must suffer consequences because of it.
This is a newspaper headlinemaking story and tells of the agonies the family must face in front of their friends, neighbors, church, city, in fact the whole country, as they attempt to come full circle with their circumstances and eventually seek to find the values which make all the difference in human existence. It is an emotional tale of the ups and downs one must experience in the
traumas of this life.
***NOTE: This book would be rated PG for sexual content, so I don't recommend this for under age readers.
