by Mikel Wilson
Being shattered doesn't mean you will always be broken and unusable.
For Ally and her family, fun and laughter with her kids and husband are a way of life. when a catastrophic tornado violently rips away everything Ally holds dear. Bitter, broken, and plagued with an onslaught of memories that bring the world around her to a screeching halt, her faith shattered she can no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel.
She is then forced to start over in a strange town with an unlikely friend, Natalie, who sees something in Ally But Ally is caught in the quicksand of daily survival, and desperate for a change.
With no faith or hope left to cling to and an anger that burns deep within, the only option that seems plausible to Ally is to simply give up. When Natalie refuses to allow her to throw her life away, Ally slowly begins picking up the shattered pieces of her life. When a horrible unforeseen tragedy strikes a second time, Ally can’t comprehend why God would allow such horrible things to happen to someone who is trying so hard to do the right thing.
Can Ally overcome yet another loss and allow God to heal her, or will she finally accept defeat?
Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Shattered But Not Easily Broken centers around a tornado and its devastating effects on one family's life. That, in itself, makes for a rollercoaster ride of a story, but this one is so much more than that. This story follows Ally, lost and alone, as she deals with the loss of everything - quite literally, everything.
I started this one with the intention of reading a chapter or two before bed, but when I looked up, it was the middle of the night and I had read the last page. Once these characters had me in their clutches, they didn't let go. Speaking of characters, I absolutely loved Natalie and her cookies!
Mikel Wilson has a writing style that pulled me right in and made me feel the emotions of the story right along with its characters. It's heartwrenching, it's uplifting, and it's everything in between. And it all just feels real. If you've ever been to that place where you wonder why me, why is this happening to me, you'll understand Ally's journey. This is a story of loss, but more than that, it's a story of faith and of hope.
To sum it up, Wilson has written a beautiful story, and anyone who can make me cry both sad and happy tears in about a hundred pages has done their job and done it well.
