Inside The Cover: Finding Our Way Home by Charlene Ann Baumbich


In their words:
When principal ballerina Sasha Davis suffers a career-ending injury at age thirty-eight, she leaves her Boston-based dance company and retreats to the home of her youth in Minnesota. But Sasha's injuries limit her as much as her mother's recent death haunts her. Concluding she can't recover alone, Sasha reluctantly hires a temporary live-in aide.
Enter the uber-capable Evelyn Burt. As large-boned as Sasha is delicate, Evelyn is her employer's opposite in every way. Small town to Sasha's urban chic, outgoing to Sasha's iciness, and undaunted where Sasha is hopeless, nineteen-year-old Evelyn is newly engaged and sees the world as one big, shiny opportunity.
Evelyn soon discovers Sasha needs to heal more than bones. Slowly, as the wounds begin to mend and the tables tilt, the two women form an unlikely alliance and discover the astounding power of even the smallest act done in the name of love. Finding Our Way Home is a story of second chances and lavish grace.
My Thoughts:
What a charming story! It is like laying your eyes on a cute little puppy that is playing with a kitten. This is the perfect weekend or vacation read. This book really shows how God can put the most unlikely of characters together for a reason. Sasha and Evelyn take turns helping each other heal in the most unique and touching way. I personally loved this story because my father-in-law is paralyzed and has taught me so much in the way of patience and how to treat people. This story was believable, inspiring and heartwarming!

I received this book as a member of Blogging For Books. The opinions in this post are 100% my own and may differ from yours.
