I love all of Lisa Wingate's books, but I particularly enjoyed this one. Her perfect mixture of faith and authentic life situations, not to mention characters who are as real as my next door neighbors, always make for an absorbing read. I've yet to be disappointed with one of her books and I recommend them to anyone who likes their fiction sincere, well-written and believable.

When a piece of fiction is not only a page turner but also reveals truths about life, I am hooked. The Language of Sycamores deals with tough life issues--broken relationshsips, damaging pride, family, buried dreams--in the gentlest, most grace-filled ways. One of my favorite quotes comes early in the book: "The problem with ruts is that when it starts to rain, they flood easily."

This book spoke to me on so many levels. First, as a great read with a compelling story line, with interesting, realistic characters. I also loved how the author so artfully described a woman at a crossroads, who turns to her family, her roots, and her faith to find direction and a new purpose. The best books are ones you think about after the last page, and I know this one will stay with me for quite some time.
