Book Review: The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner




I think many women have had a secret fantasy about living another life that is much more exciting than what they feel their own is currently.  Sarah Hollenbeck lived what she deemed a wonderful life until it ended in divorce. She's not sure what to do with her life at this point and is struggling to just exist.  Suddenly Sarah is a well loved author for her "steamy" novels. She doesn't want anyone to know she's the author in the beginning. Not sure if she's worried of failure, worried of what people will think, etc. One day Sarah attends church with her best friend Piper when her world changes for EVER! She meets the most handsome man she's ever seen and she feels an instant attraction. Sarah is already planning her life with this man until she looks up and sees him standing at the pulpit ready to start the service. Sarah believes with her history that this man would never want her and why would God even want her in his house?? As time goes on Sarah starts to be convicted that the novels she's been writing aren't what God would want her to write. She has talent, but is that really the best way to glorify God in this new stage of her life? As her relationship with Pastor Ben goes through many hurtles and she falls in love with an amazing little girl named Maddie, Sarah's life heads in a direction she never expected. What happens when we follow the path that God wants us to? He never guides us wrong and Sarah finds that out as she struggles to go where she believes God wants her to go.
