Our daughter Michayla writes stuff. Including a book I reviewed on Amazon. Alas, Amazon rejected my review. Because parents just aren’t objective, apparently. 😯
Here’s my little review:
Sex slave? Trafficked girl?
This book drew me in. Unexpectedly, it lifted my spirit several times along the way. It renewed my vision for the redemptive, victorious work of the Most High in our breaking, darkening, corrupting world.
At a couple places later in the book, my eyes welled up at the grace of Jesus to the “least” among us. One of those times was when Berwynn recognized the true identity of…eh, I better not be a spoiler!
Berwynn — is she a blend of Rahab, Deborah, and Mary Magdalene? Perhaps. But Casimir, one of the heroes all the way through the tale, early on declared in her defense, “She is a creation of the Most High. And I’ll not have her referred to as anything less than such.”
Well, it took me a few pages of reading to get “into” this book (since this genre generally isn’t my type of reading). But after that, I was hooked.
Thanks for the great read, Michayla!
I easily give Still the Candle Burns as many stars as Amazon can handle. ★★★★★
Buy it in paperback directly from Michayla. Or purchase the Kindle edition on Amazon.
Oh. And be sure to read the first few chapters at Michayla’s site, This Extraordinary Life.
(While you’re there, read at least a couple of her other blog posts.)
Maybe you could post your own review on Amazon, eh?
