Sisterchicks In Wooden Shoes (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Normally, I pick up these books for the lighthearted laughter and uplift they inspire in me. This one was hard for me to read, however. It truly is a book presented in hope, but reading of a woman who recounted her miscarriages, had a mother who went through breast cancer, and waiting on her own abnormal biopsy results... there may have been a time when her journey would have been powerful and comforting for me, but that wasn't what I was reading the book for at the time. It was a good story, but I might get more out of it when I'm in a different mood. When Summer was told she needed a biopsy she baked cookies which helped her think. Then she made flight reservations to the Netherlands. She had never met her pen pal in person and felt this was the time for a chick adventure with Noelle. Summer's husband was supportive of the plan. For a week Summer would learn about her good friend and her husband, their culture and pieces of their history. The Ten Boom family touched lives by saving lives. Summer and Noelle visited the Ten Boom home and museum, hearing first person stories about the concentration camps. The Iconoclasts made their statement by destruction. The pen pals visited a church which had been a victim of this action. And the original paintings by Vermeer spoke to Summer about everyday things and people. During that week Summer was able to connect with Noelle in communicating their feelings and needs which each had been trying to escape. Topics they discussed included past relationships and future medical possibilities and God's Love and provisions for His children. Summer and Noelle had thought this visit had been a spontaneous plan by Summer. They learned that God knew all along what both of them needed.
