Rachel Ann Nunes wrote a book called This Very Moment, which I read last month and am just getting around to reviewing. I like and enjoy reading this author. Was this one high literature? No. But was it entertaining and a fun read? Sure.
I
like the idea of the two of these people riding to the rescue of
children with disfiguring facial problems. I don't understand the
doctor's reasoning behind being a plastic surgeon and yet not wanting to
help children. I would think that if it's that much of a problem, he'd
have gone into something else. And why did he need to change his name?
Not enough of a reason in my humble opinion. It would have been cool to bring a bigger element of
suspense into it.
This, to me, is a book about learning to stop running and
take a stand. There's got to be a time when you grow beyond the things
you fear. The doctor in this book does that. I applaud him for the
courage it took to take another look at someone he would just have
tossed away before, because she was too demanding that he leave his
comfort zone.
I like the doctor's struggle with what he
believes religiously. Many people, upon having major struggles in their lives, have this sort of struggle. They ask themselves, "What's God doing up there? Does he care about me or about xxxxxx?" It's easier for some
than for others to accept religious beliefs or ideas at face value. Others have to test
it. This book kept me reading in hopes that at some time he'd finally
figure it out on all counts.
More Rachel Ann Nunes, please...:o) She doesn't disappoint.
I've got one of her book on my Kindle app and can't wait to read it.
