A review by alliepeduto
The Summer Seekers by Sarah Morgan
5.0
Sometimes the best books aren’t the ones you plan on reading. I love Sarah Morgan, but I had downloaded this more as a back up than something I was eagerly looking forward to reading. Of course this ends up being the book that I needed to read right now. Thanks to a plane ride and nothing else to start on, I read this absolutely delightful story that made me think about what makes me happy, in a week that I really needed to ask myself that question.
We all have big life moments to grapple with (weddings, birthdays, etc), but I’m more interested in the day to day. How do we live a life of contentment? How do we minimize “regret” or better yet, give the idea of “no regrets” less power? These are the questions I found myself asking throughout this story, and what I really loved was that I identified with each of the women in their struggle. On the surface, it seems like I would be most similar to Martha, and while that’s true, Liza and Kathleen’s journeys were just as relevant to me.
I guess what I’m trying to say is we are all more alike than we are different. We all need forgiveness and love, and we all need to feel valued. Our ways of communicating that may be different, and the end result will vary from person to person. But how we live a life of contentment is our choice, and I feel empowered to create that life for myself after reading this.
