THE WEIGHT OF SHADOWS BY ALISON STROBEL

Many times while reading THE WEIGHT OF SHADOWS BY ALISON STROBELI
would stop myself from using the wrong title. The words The Weight of
Silence would come to my mind. I felt very silly. Then I thought about
the plot of Alison Strobel's novel. The characters in the story carry
the heavy weight of SHADOWS and silence. This novel is all the better
because it is Christian fiction. After a very quick
romance, these two people decide to live together. They become engaged
choosing their date of marriage as the next July. Rick quickly tells
about his past to Kim. Kim shares her past with Rick. Both have lived
through terrible childhoods. Neither Kim nor Rick have made peace with
their demons. Kim knows a little about Jesus. Rick not as much as Kim.
So it is a relationship void of the Savior, Jesus Christ, to guide and aid them with His comfort
and eternal love. Soon the relationship changes between Kim and Rick.
The changes are far from good, unpredictable and unexpected.
