Wings of Glass By Gina Holmes



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.

  2. Another very special book Mary. I had to stop and think about this one as I have been there done that. I do believe the subject needs to be addressed more so I think this will be a great book. I look forward to reading it with a slight hesitation of memories.

    Thank you
    Mary for all you do for readers and authors. I appreciate you

  12. This 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.

  14. Mary, 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!
