Like a Bird Wanders by Sharon Bernash Smith, Rosanne Croft, and Linda Reinhardt

Julia is a young lady who breaking  free of her “religious” roots while going to college.  She believes she’s found just the man to trust to show her the world!  Will Julia see this world that she’s breaking into as an adventure or a mistake?  Will she remember the lessons the women in her family have tried to instill in her?

Grace, Julia’s great-grandmother, is watching Julia travel down the same path that she took.  How do you tell someone you love that you’ve already been where they’re going in life and it’s a mistake?  Will Grace be able to reach Julia by the letters and journals she’s left behind?

As the history of this family begins to unfold, the authors show you a glimpse of what could be Julia’s future if she continues on the road she’s chosen.  Grace’s past is a surprise to Julia and instills in her a determination…

Most of this book is written in letter/journal form.  This format took some getting used to.  Because of this format it took me a while to get into the story, but once I did I was thrilled to discover the past memories of this family and how they related to Julia.  The ending was a bit abrupt to me…I would have liked a little more resolution, but overall I enjoyed this book.

These three authors do a fine job of creating a family history that will benefit it’s future generations!
