Ivy Rose is a lovely, talented young woman who (you may remember) published her first novel, The Old River Road, last summer. You can read about my opinion on it here. I was fortunate enough to beta read both her first novel and her second publication: a novella called Left to Die.
While all the characters from her first novel still hold a special place in my heart, Ivy did a phenomenal job making her characters in her newest publication just as endearing as she puts them through the struggles of life as authors are prone to do ;)
Lindy Greene’s life is perfect. Too perfect. But living as a missionary nurse, serving in a small hospital in China, soon brings the disaster she fearfully anticipates. All of her well-thought-out plans for the future disintegrate after pulling a fatally ill, disfigured, abandoned child from a pile of trash. She doesn’t even like babies.
Nathan Thomas can’t find balance. College suited him just fine until his cash ran out, forcing him to the Chinese mission field with his parents. The chaotic atmosphere in China does little to relax his agitated mind, and the pretty blonde nurse at the hospital does nothing to help him focus.
The Chinese mission field isn’t for the faint of heart. Nathan wonders how he can survive his remaining time there, while Lindy struggles to help everyone she can. With different ideals pulling them in separate directions, there is one thing drawing them together: a tiny, sickly, crippled orphan who relies on them to stay alive.
Sounds really good, right? I thought so, too, and I'm so glad that I've been able to read it twice in the last few months! Ivy did an amazing job writing what God laid on her heart and quite quickly, too!
