Drenched in Light

Tending Roses, Book 4

De: Lisa Wingate

Narrado por: Mia Barron

Once a gifted ballet dancer, Julia Costell buckled under the demands of a professional dance career and has landed with a thud in an unglamorous job as a guidance counselor at a performing arts high school. Living back home with her parents and feeling lost, she is afraid she’ll never soar again...until the day young Dell Jordan is sent to her office, carrying an essay.

In Dell’s writing, Julia sees luminous sparks of hope. But as she fights to forge a brighter future for one disadvantaged student, she is drawn into startling undercurrents of conflict and denial within the academy. Only when she is tested in ways she never could have imagined does she begin to discover where real meaning and fulfillment lie - and realize that even though her life has seemed off course, she’s been on the right path all along.

Captivating

A very well written story that grabs and holes your attention up to the end. Interesting fiction that deals with very real life issues. I enjoyed it very much.

Uplifting

Uplifting story. Truth to be told and not hidden. Encouragement to those who need support.

Drenched in light

Once again, Lisa Wingate has sculpted a meaningful story. Each character comes alive individually, and meld together to develop a plot that so many young people today live out, as well as so many school systems, and the staff within. i’m so drawn to the spirituality that always flows through her books. Nothing that hits you over the head, but solid in faith.

Loved this!

Wonderful book full of interesting characters and a charming well developed storyline. I felt the full range of emotions while listening.

The unfolding of each character as they came to life.

I loved it all and cannot get enough of this author. I am excitedly waiting to begin my next listen.

Another amazing and awesome book.

Lisa hit a grand slam with this book. The interwoven message of this book in light of how messy your past may be there is always a way to turn all the negatives in an enormous positive. Thank you Lisa Wingate.

Life can be very messy

I appreciated the authors in depth look at a eating disorder that starts in teen years and goes into the twenties with some big implications to the main character(Marlo) and her family. Marlo is working to regain control of her life, redefine herself, and overcome her distorted views and avoid unhealthy tactics she had done for years. Also shows the impact to her family and their concern and guilt for not recognizing the problems she was having. Marlo finds herself as a school guidance counselor as she helps a struggling teenager with her own identity.

Easy listening

Just a feel good, happily ever after story. Nothing brutal. No blood and guts. No offensive language. This listen was a respite from the craziness of the world. A breath of fresh air. Enjoy.

What a joy!

This series does not fail to keep you on the edge of your seat and fill you with joy.
