Gain Access Light Of The Heart (Sterling Lakes, #1) Outlined By Regina Andrews Accessible In Digital Version

Disclaimer: I received a free copy in exchange of an honest review,

Regina Andrews has touched the topic of forgiveness and moving on in this book in a religious way from Christianity point,

The character of Cascade was the kind that was finding it hard to forgive the people of that town where she grew up, The reason she could not forgive them was because they did not come out and help her mom when she was being the target of domestic abuse by her husband.
I could relate to Cascade as well, in the sense of forgiving someone, It is indeed tough to forgive someone, who is not even sorry or feel that they should apologise in any way,

However, from the religious point, it shows that one can only be happy when they actually forgive and move on, Not everything has to be said and stated, Sometimes, sorry comes in the form of just not saying it at all, You just have to forgive so that you could move on,

Great read ! originally posted at sitelink blogspot. c

They throw a guilt trip on her, and she ends up wanting to do the windows for the church when she visits the site and thinks they've gotten another artist.


The beauty of this book is in the method the author uses to convey God's light in the heart and entwine it with the light that filters through stained glass windows in a church.
Dan McQuay makes it his business to not get involved until he's entwined in the rays of light Cascade throws his way and he opens his heart to God's light.
When they both open their hearts to the stainedglass window project, God works in both,

If you want to read a beautiful book with a filteredlight story, this is the one, And you won't want to miss what happens when Cascade must face her fear of the water when the canoe tips over during a sudden storm, I enjoyed reading Regina Andrews outstanding debut novel, Light of the Heart, in her Sterling Lakes Series about the talented stained glass artist Cascade Preston and project manager Dan McQuay.
Andrews has created wonderful characters and a lively, interesting plot in Book One, Cascades unhappy childhood gave her

a strong reason for not wanting to return to Sterling Lakes to design and make stained glass windows for St, Lukes church. Fortunately, her cousin and employee, Abby, turns a bid in for the job and forges Cascades name, Abby realizes Cascade needs to face her past, even though it will be painful, Dan also has personal problems that must be resolved so he can move on to have a happier life,

The scenes are remarkable where Cascade visits the women in Tanglewood Womens Prison and gives them positive feedback on their stained glass assignments, It adds a depth to the character I appreciated, On one particular visit, the women in prison accuse Cascade of holding the church renovation up by refusing to do the stained glass job, As she leaves the prison, Cascade realizes she might be in her own personal prison,

I love Ms, Andrews' writing, and Im sure Book Two in the Sterling Lakes Series will be another great story to enjoy,
Great book. Overcoming their fears and their past, Well done. I was given a gifted copy by Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review,
Cascade Preston is a stainedglass artist who has been signed up to participate in the refurbishment project of the church in Sterling Lakes by her cousin without her permission.
Sterling Lakes is a place she swore never to visit again after having lived there as a child, However, when Dan McQuay project manager from the church site visits her, she starts to think about going back to her hometown and accept the project,
One character I like a lot is Father Greene, He is sweet, caring and very kind to Cascade and Dan,
However, there are things I dont like in the book, for example I cant see the need to use some Spanish words just because they are dancing salsa, but if they have to be used, it has to be done properly.
Where it says “Oyo amiga” it should be “Oye amiga” and where it says “Muchos gracias” it should be “Muchas gracias,
Another thing I dont like is the constant mention of God, For two thirds of the book, it was so repetitive that the flow of the story gets lost,
There are some things that are not believable at all, for example, if Cascade hates so much Sterling Lakes, why does she go there so easily and accept the contract Why doesnt she go to visit her mother if she means so much to her We only know she is in a coma because of her husband beating.
What happened to her siblings We only know they were twins and their names,
