This book is the story of John and Elizabeth Bunyun. Jody Hedlund wrote two pages of true life things about the Bunyun's that she included in the story--which was all of the plot and the people's names. In the book, however, their last name was Costin. Seriously, how was I to know?
I don't normally enjoy historical fiction, but I'm beginning to think it's because I've been reading the wrong part of history. Or the wrong authors. Either way, I just finished this book, and I enjoyed it immensely. It was a very captivating story, and in my heart, I felt Elizabeth's pain keenly whenever her husband said words to hurt her feelings. I was inspired to think about what life would feel like if I were blind, or had a child who was blind. I was grateful that the modern medicine of today meant that more babies lived than died. And I regret to announce that I didn't know my history well enough to recognize the story of the tinker-turned-preacher who wrote and preached in England until I read the author's note at the end.

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
