Into Each Life

Into Each Life

Shelia E. Lipsey

***( 3.8/5)

Into each life is a Christian Fiction novel that follows the life of childhood friends. Prodigal has always been in love with his best friend Teary, but Teary instead chases after other dreams never returning the undying love for Prodigal, but when she finally does realize and appreciate Prodigal, will it be too late?

The book also tells the story of their family members such as Teary's sister. It begins when they are all just children, spending their days playing outside and having fun. It follows them through High School, College, marriage, children,infertility, divorce, sickness and death.

This book is a fast read. On one hand including so much in the book makes the 300 + pages fly by, but sometimes it feels weighted down as too much is happening in this novel and some characters development and plot points are not given enough time and it ends up feeling rushed. One such character was Teary who was very hard to like. The end is also a little rushed. I also found the names a little annoying- Teary, Prodigal & Faith. I kept asking myself who would name their child Teary?

Overall Lipsey has written and enjoyable book, that will keep reader attention and have them looking forward to her next book.
