I admire
the author, Beverly Lewis on the way she associated her heritage into her
writing.
The story line is simple, yet
portrayed in such a way that I felt the book holds a much deeper meaning: loss
of faith, finding faith, growth, and learning from others. The story showed
that aside from individual differences and cultural issues, each person can
still learn from each other if each one of them is willing to actually listen. The novel is rich in spiritual
understanding, gives depth to commitment, not to compromise in temptation, and
shows balance and belief in life.
The story had an element of suspense but
overall it was a bit predictable. From
the title itself “The Redemption of Sara Cain”, the reader can tell what would
likely to happen to the main character.
Although the ending is
good but it was so quickly wrapped up. The entire book has a good pace but the
story ended in so little pages left. As the story evolves, I could tell that
Sarah may have had a change of heart at the end, when she said “No Josiah.
Finding her voice, your mamma was a very nice woman, She did not make
mistake...”. but all of a sudden it’s the epilogue. Although the author
made everything falls into proper place, the
revelation is so sudden. Yet, I still liked
how the end of story went on how Lydia narrates the events in the epilogue.
After reading the story, I learned a little
about Amish culture and their life. They are the people who could live a simple
and uncluttered life. I can’t believe
that there are still people who live that way of life in this cyber age. I
think I would like to read more on Amish community. Overall, the book has a good life lesson. It
made me think about family, faith, culture, choices, and self-discovery.
