LeslieSIllinoisAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Mental illness is not shameful or unspiritualJanuary 7, 2020LeslieSIllinoisAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5In August I read Shades of Light by Sharon Garlough Brown. Her soon to be released book Remember Me picks up with Wren and Kit in a briefer novella.
Wren continues to work through mental illness and to draw consolation from her art. While Wren continues to the a main focal point of the story, Brown turns her attention a bit more to Kit in this title. Kit is helping Wren not only because she is her aunt but because she has struggled with significant mental illness herself. While providing guidance and encouragement to Wren, Kit begins writing letters to Kit that share some of her own story. Her own experiences have helped her to be the spiritual director and wise woman she is today. Reading Kit's story reminded me of the book As I Recall as Kit definitely used and has used her memories and experiences to grow spiritually. Brown does a marvelous job of creating real characters who struggle with raw emotions and experiences. This definitely is not an "everything is coming up roses" typical Christian novel.
As in Shades of Light, using and creating art as part of a spiritual journey continues to be a strong component of Remember Me. In particular, Wren interacts with and creates artwork that will be utilized in the Stations of the Cross. As the story builds up to the traditional Stations of the Cross, it is a wonderful book to read during the Lenten season. The book includes devotional content and artwork that will also help readers in their spiritual preparation.

rkfall4 Stars Out Of 5The Story Continues...May 28, 2020rkfallI have read most of this authors work before and this book was like picking up right where I left off. It ties in the characters from other books and brings a bit more life to them. This book is a sequel to Shades of Light but can stand alone and does not have to be read with the others in order to follow it. It sure is a nice addition. My favorite parts are the Spiritual Direction/Retreat sections.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
