My Review:

This author has given us another top-notch realistic story. Blessings On The Run has plenty of real-life issues that many women have been through. While they aren't considered the issues of some generations, the truth is they have always been there. The story is told first-person, with flashbacks. Blessing, like many women I know, has been used and degraded by men her entire life. My heart hurt for her, as it does for the real people I know who have or are going through such trials. Forgiveness and redemption are the themes of this book. Control and manipulation were clearly shown and not glossed over into something that is okay.  I found it to be a relevant read. 

For anyone who hasn't been around the issues in this book, it's good to keep in mind that they are far more prevalent in today's world than tend to be discussed in most Christian circles.

More from Alana

Are you afraid of anything? Maybe you have a phobia, like a fear of spiders, heights, or (if you’re weird like me) fish. (That’s a story for another day!)
When I was pregnant with our first son, I had some weird nightmares which fueled my fears. One night I woke up my husband in a panic to tell him to pray for our baby because we were being chased by a demonic cheese grater (yes, you read that right – a demonic kitchen appliance!). Regularly in my nightmares, I dream that someone or something is after my kids (and they’re usually not possessed cooking utensils, by the way).
One way I work through my fears as a mom is to turn them into stories. And even though I haven’t found a way to work a demonic cheese grater into my novels, you can read about a mother’s worst nightmare in this novel, Blessing on the Run.
 Blessing has worked hard to turn her life around after a rough life on the streets, but in this exciting suspense novel, her past it about to catch up to her.
Join Blessing and her parents (if you’re a fan of the Kennedy series you already know who they are!) for an adrenaline-packed thrill ride you won’t soon forget.
