Book Review : No Other by Shawna K Williams

ABOUT THE BOOK
In the aftermath of WWII all Jakob Wilheimer wants is to get over his pain, get on with life, and if at all possible, forgive those who've wronged his family -- including himself. But it's hard to do when there are constant reminders. One of them being his former schoolmate, now teacher, Meri Parker -- Miss Port Delamar Pearl, Mayor's daughter, Belle of the town -- Meri Parker.

After enduring the stigma and isolation associated with the internment camp, the awkwardness of going back to school should've been a cake walk. But Jakob didn't expect to find himself inexplicably drawn to Meri. Or to discover that the pain and loneliness of her life surpassed his own. She needed to be rescued from the wretched people seeking to control her life. And more than anything, he needed to be the one to save her.
 

MY REVIEW

No Other is a story of God's grace, no matter how you screw up whatever God has promised He will never take it away from you. It may take a little longer or take some additional twists to get there but it happens no matter what. 

I also loved the way author Shawna  K Williams incorporated Jakob's conversations with God into the book. 

The fact that God's word in mentioned much in the book also made me a happy Christian book reviewer. 

The only par of the book I was not so keen on was the kissing scenes. But I guess for the author to make her point on God's grace, some sin had to be written clearly.

I totally enjoyed the book and would recommend it to you.

Join me here tomorrow where I will be interviewing author of No Other , Shawna K. Williams and I will also be giving away a copy of No Other.

Stay blessed.
