From the best-selling author of Crossing
Oceans comes a heartrending yet uplifting story of friendship and
redemption. On the cusp of adulthood, eighteen-year-old Penny Carson is swept
off her feet by a handsome farmhand with a confident swagger. Though Trent
Taylor seems like Prince Charming and offers an escape from her one-stop-sign
town, Penny's happily-ever-after lasts no longer than their breakneck courtship.
Before the ink even dries on their marriage certificate, he hits her for the
first time. It isn't the last, yet the bruises that can't be seen are the most
painful of all.
When Trent is injured in a welding accident and his paycheck stops, he has no choice but to finally allow Penny to take a job cleaning houses. Here she meets two women from very different worlds who will teach her to live and laugh again, and lend her their backbones just long enough for her to find her own.

I have to tell you I have read Gina's first two books they were good.
Well Crossing Oceans was one of the best books I have ever read. When I got my
copy of Wings of Glass I just was not sure that Gina could top Crossing
Oceans, Well she did.
This is such a moving book. A book full of
hope. My heart went out to Penny, I have lived that life and I just felt her
pain.
This was a very emotional read for me, but I
never put it down. Gina pulled me in and I am happy to say it is my new favorite
book by her.
I loved the end, it turned out just like I was
hoping it would.
I give this book 5 stars and I highly recommend
it.
I was given a copy of this book by the
publisher.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the life I had with my kids Dad. It was a terrible way to live. I'm so glad I finally got out of that way of living.
ReplyDeleteJuanita, I think that a lot of us lived this terrible life at some point!
DeleteJust ordered mine. I love Gina's books!
ReplyDeleteMary, thanks so much for the very kind review. This book is so close to my heart. I'm glad you liked it. You're a sweetheart. I hate for all those that commented (and you... and me) that we had to taste abuse, but glad for those of us who are on the other side of it. For those who haven't suffered this, the book was written as much for you (to understand what keeps women in these relationships, and an idea of how to love on these women) as it was written for those who've been there, done that. One of my favorite characters is Fatimah. I so wish I could know her in real life! Thanks again Mary!
