Title: A Must-Read
Review: My #1 favorite novel of all time. I've read this book out loud to my children twice, once when they were almost teens and again before they went off to college. It's the story of a determined young woman who struggles to make her own way in the world. Her choices drive her downward until the book is so depressing that I wanted to throw it away. Then by the grace of God the story changes as Eleanor begins to gain back much of what she lost and learns the hard way the two meanings of "not my will." My wife and I both cried for long stretches while reading this. One day I read it on the way to work on the bus and a coworker wondered why my eyes were all read when I arrived. He couldn't believe I had been crying over a story! This book is a reminder of the importance of "Seek first His kingdom and his righteousness." Our own way is death; God's way is life. This book is also a wake-up call for parents to be students of your child's character at the earliest ages.
