Although I read this book nearly a year ago, I remember it distinctly. The honest characters and story--which focuses on spousal physical and verbal abuse--are gripping and transformative. Before I read Wings of Glass, I understood little about spousal abuse. This story gave me a more accurate awareness of what spousal abuse can look like and helped me understand some of its effects more deeply. Wings of Glass equipped me to more mindfully approach the sin of abuse and the victims of abuse. This novel, filled with raw truth and literary beauty, is one I highly recommend reading. This is not the first time that I am reading a story that talks about abused wives. Of the handful of titles I've read, I think this one is the best so far. It is not only dark as such tales tend to be, but it also offers hope, lots of it. As a Christian inspirational, it explains in a far from preachy manner how God works in our lives - in His own way and time.Two valuable lessons from this story that I've heard a lot about given my age, but these are not time-bound. No matter one's age or stage in life, these will apply:1. Change begins with oneself. Change triggers a chain reaction, but always, it has to "start with me". The other person or the circumstances will follow suit, as a result.2. Before arriving at a conclusion or decision, try to imagine yourself in the other person's situation. Assume a third party role. How would you have reacted? What would you have done?I am so grateful that I got this gem of a book for free from Amazon last July. Now, I see that it's regularly priced. Nevertheless, this first experience with Gina Holmes made me a fan. Free or not free, I am sure to get/buy more of her books.
What do You think about Geef Me Vleugels (2013)?
It was OK. It was the first book I've read from this author. I would definitely try another book.
