Book Review of “Half-Finished” by Lauraine Snelling

Publisher Description

“In bestselling author Lauraine Snelling’s new novel, a group of women realize that life is full of half-finished relationships and projects. However, they discover that the outcome is not as important as the journey.

Recognizing how common it is for crafters to start many projects and finish few, a group of women join together to form a guild-Unfinished Projects Anonymous-to keep each other on track and accountable. Three of the friends are tasked with the job of home visits for their guild. Laughingly called “the Cartel,” they snoop around craft rooms and knitting baskets to report on progress for the members. They even expand their mission to include checking on half-trained dogs and half-weeded gardens.

As life unexpectedly changes for one of the members, this ensemble of women in bestselling author Lauraine Snelling’s new novel discovers that much of life is half-finished-projects, friendships, the raising of children, even our very relationship with the Lord. And that may be perfectly fine.“

My Review:

I loved this story about friends, family, and faith.  There’s love and loss in this story, but there’s hope and healing, too.  It’s a wonderful story about the power of a community that comes together to work together and help their own.  While there are quite a few characters to keep track of,  it gives this book a realistic small-town feel.  This is a good, solid storyline that gives you a sense that you are part of this community and keeping up with everting that’s happening as you visit in the local coffee shop. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
