Angel Falls



Dear Bookworms,

          It was so nice to see everyone on Monday.  Those who didn’t attend, we missed you. Thank you, Lourdes, for coming and joining us, even though you had dinner plans with your friends.  I also would like to welcome our new members Sandra and Dee (hope I spelt it right).  Nice getting to know you both!
          Our discussions ranged from personal to book related. It’s always nice to catch up and get to see how each of us is doing. Our prayers go out to Irene’s husband and Miggy’s daughter for a speedy recovery.  
          I’m glad the book was enjoyed by everyone.   I chose this book because when I read the back cover about Mikaela being in a coma, it made me think of my nephew John. He too was in a coma when I had started to read the book.  Thankfully he is recovering everyday. 
        When Mikaela, beloved wife and mother of two, falls into a coma, it is up to her  husband, Liam, to hold the family together, to care for their grieving, frightened children. Day after day, he sits by her bedside, telling stories of the precious life they have built, hoping, always hoping, that she will wake up. Then he discovers evidence of her first marriage to Julian True. It was said in our group his name was an oxymoron, since he wasn't a true individual.
Liam, on the other hand, was a kind and loving man. He would do anything to wake his wife up, even if it meant losing her to her true love. Some of us thought we too would make that sacrifice if it was to save our spouse. Others thought that would be too difficult to do!
This book kept us on our toes wondering if Mikaela would go back to the life she once had. I think the consensus was she would be foolish to leave a man like Liam.

All the best to you,
Millie
