| My Sister Dilly By Maureen Lang Tyndale Copyright ©2008 Projected Release October, 2008 My Favorite Lang Story to Date Maureen Lang has once again covered a sensitive topic with warmth and humanity that makes her a favorite among Christian Fiction writers. Hannah Williams wants desperately to compensate. Perhaps Dilly’s unspeakable crime was in part her fault for not being a more supportive sister. When Dilly’s time of incarceration has ended, Hannah believes herself to be Dilly’s savior. Why not sacrifice her career, move back to a homeland she had grown up to despise, and put her life on hold? Perhaps even give up the true love of her life. Wouldn’t all that sacrifice be worth it? Would that make up for not being the sister Dilly needed when desperation drove her to attempt to take her own life and that of her disabled child? How could Hannah realize that Dilly found a different Savior. One she could be certain would never fail her? Maureen Lang has pieced together a gripping story that brings home two important issues, that of the emotional drain caregivers of disabled children endure, and that of rebuilding one’s life after devastating poor life choices. Dilly has paid her debt to society, but will her community be as forgiving as the Lord? Kudos for tackling such difficult issues with humanity and warmth. Review by Linda Rondeau |
