Is there a reason to lie to protect your loved ones? The answer to that question is delved into in Robin Lee Hatcher's book, I'll Be Seeing You! This book explores love, heartbreak, family drama, one night's mistake, and the consequences of the mistake that happen to a family through the great grandmother to her granddaughter. This is Christian fiction at its best which shows through God's love what a family can overcome. This story starts during World War II and ends during the present day. This amazing story sure touched my soul and is well worth a readers time! I’ll Be Seeing You by Robin Lee Hatcher has Brianna Hastings doing a research project for her college history class. She must interview the oldest member of her family who happens to be her ninety-eight-year-old grandmother, Daisy. Daisy tells her granddaughter about living through World War II in Boise, Idaho. She has valuable good life lessons to share with Brianna. GeeGee hopes that Brianna is ready to hear them. I thought I’ll Be Seeing You was well-written with realistic, relatable characters. The story is told from multiple points-of-view. It is also goes from the present to the beginning of World War II (the bombing of Pearl Harbor). I had a little trouble in the beginning adjusting to the back-and-forth, but I soon adjusted. We get to see how one mistake changes a person’s life and others. We see how a lie impacts not only the person who told it but to those around them. With God’s help, we can be forgiven so we can move forward. I like how the author incorporated faith into the story. It was well-done and not preachy. My favorite Christian line is, “When she’d confessed her sin, He’d forgiven her. There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Jesus Christ.” I loved the references to movies from that time period (The Song of Bernadette, Holiday Inn, and Mrs. Miniver). I’ll Be Seeing You deals with realistic situations and problems. We see how the characters overcome them with God’s help. I enjoyed watching the characters grow as people and in faith. I did feel that the book was a little too long. There were points that were repeated a few too many times. A couple of changes would have made I’ll Be Seeing You an even better story. I’ll Be Seeing You is a touching tale that will hold your interest until the very last page. I like that we get to see how one bad choice was turned to good. I’ll Be Seeing You is a story about family, faith, forgiveness, history, salvation, love, and God’s grace. I’ll Be Seeing You by Robin Lee Hatcher is a dual time line Christian fiction story. Brianna is taking a college course she doesn’t want to be in, that has an assignment that counts for half her grade. She is to visit with someone about a time in history. She visits with her great-grandmother Daisy and learns what is was like for her and others during WWII. This is such a powerful story. It is beautifully written with loveable characters. I so adore Daisy and loved her parts of the story. I also enjoyed the current day parts of the story of Brianna and her friends. I especially enjoyed the parts of Daisy in the 1940’s and how one night changed her life and how she dealt with it. This is a nice story of forgiveness and that God will see us through difficult situations. I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this story from the publisher through Net Galley, this is my honest review. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
