ChickLit Cafe Review:
For Richer or For Poorer, by Barbara Edema
Splendid, charming and
compelling!
This is the third book
in the “Pastor Maggie” series. Author Barbara Edema has done it again. After
reading and thoroughly enjoying book two, “To Have and To Hold”, I was
anxiously awaiting the next installment in the series. And “For Richer or For
Poorer” did not disappoint. It is excellent.
I was brought right back
into the scene at Loving the Lord Community Church with all the interesting
parishioners and characters.
As a wonderful twist,
Pastor Maggie takes a group of her parishioners to Ghana, Africa for a mission
trip. The chapters are beautifully interspersed, taking the reader back and
forth from Cherish to Ghana.
All the characters are
extremely well written and developed. Some of them have grown and evolved
nicely from the previous books.
Once again I was drawn
in by the personalities with their particular quirks, issues, strengths and
weaknesses. I've grown to love some of these characters. They are fully
developed, thought out and formed. Author, Barbara Edema has a special way of
developing likable interesting characters that the reader will fall in love
with. They are familiar and unpredictable. Their interactions with each other are
realistic and endearing. They are woven into the storyline in a very simplistic
smart manner.
I loved the plot. While
it is full of drama, it is not lacking in warmth and fun. It is delightful and
mysterious at the same time. It is filled with humor, anguish, and romance. The
author has a way with words that is unlike many other authors. She keeps the
reader wanting more. She writes with a lot of emotion that nourishes the soul,
She skillfully develops the storyline, while meticulously interweaving the
characters within.
Maggie has an awakening
of the soul, as she ponders the differences between true wealth and poverty,
generosity and judgment, the open-hearted and the close-minded. Her struggles
embolden her ministry.
I couldn’t put “For Richer or For Poorer” down. It is filled with many important life issues while keeping a fantastic work of fiction. The warmth of the characters and their interactions will make the reader smile and ponder many things. I turned the pages quickly wondering and anticipating what would happen next. The trials and triumphs of the people in Pastor Maggie’s congregation is inspiring. This is a very fun story as well. It shows what the power of love can do. It is creative and extraordinarily imaginative. I think that readers will be very satisfied, inspired and happy with this third installment of the “Pastor Maggie” series.
