Book Review Any Dream Will Do by Debbie Macomber

Any Dream Will Do by Debbie Macomber
Title: Any Dream Will Do

Author:  Debbie Macomber

Stars: 5 stars out of 5

Review:
I always enjoy reading a book where the author can draw the reader so far into the story that they feel they are a bystander watching it all unfold. In this instance I felt I was not only there but could feel ever emotion felt by the two main characters. Despair, forsaken, hope and budding love being a few of the many tugs one felt while reading this uplifting story. A convicted felon and a widowed pastor, with two small children, both trying to do what is best. A truly heart warming and string tugging love story that will make you feel better.

I have given this book a five star rating and would recommend it to anyone else looking for a book that will leave them feeling better.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Thank you Frank 

Synopsis 
Shay Benson adored her younger brother, Caden, and that got her into trouble. When he owed money, Shay realized she would do anything to help him avoid the men who were threatening him, and she crossed lines she never should have crossed. Now, determined to start fresh, she finds herself in search of a place to stay and wanders into a church to escape from the cold.

Pastor Drew Douglas adored his wife. But when he lost her, it was all he could do to focus on his two beautiful kids, and his flock came in a distant third. Now, as he too is thinking about a fresh start, he walks through his sanctuary and finds Shay sitting in a pew.

The pair strike up a friendship—Drew helps Shay get back on her feet, and she reignites his sense of purpose—that, over time, turns into something deeper, something soulful, spiritual, and possibly romantic. Even Drew’s two children are taken with this woman who has brought light back into their lives. Perhaps most important, Shay learns to trust again as she, in turn, proves herself trustworthy to her adopted community.

But Caden’s return to town and a disastrous secret threaten to undo the life Shay has tried so hard to rebuild. It will take the utmost courage and faith if she and Drew hope to find healing and open their hearts to a brighter future.
