Stained Glass Hearts

I've now lost track as to what number of eBooks I've gotten from Book Sneeze.  One thing I've found when I go to Amazon to find out how long the books are, whatever it says, getting it in eBook format the pages are by far fewer.  Amazon said this book is 208 pages, while my Adobe reader on my laptop says there are 141 pages.  So, I don't know where the discrepancy is.  Hopefully I can finish this book in a couple of hours.

Though this book was not very long, it was harder for me to get interested in.  Not sure why.  There are elements of Patsy's life that I could totally relate to, and many things I could identify with.  Perhaps I expected it to be partially humorous and the other part serious. 

When I think of Stained Glass, I think of beauty and elegance.  She had beautiful words written through this book, very descriptive.  The book was well-organized.  She has Scriptures and references different stories in the Bible and mixes it with her story mainly, but also the stories of others.

She shares of her foibles and the many challenges of her life, as well of that of her family, and how her challenges impacted her family, both present and the one she grew up in.  This book is filled with so much grace & sweetness.  I found the book very open & honest.  However, I wasn't moved as I had expected.  Maybe because the past couple days I've been incredibly tired.

Anyway, I'm giving it 4 stars for all the great things about the book and maybe I'll reread it again sometime in the future when I'm feeling more alive.
