eat read and one I would highly recommend. I love it how there are many plot twists and how hope and life come resounding through the pages. A great read. Read LessRead less about Imogen's Chance by Paula Vince is an

g right some of the effects of her choices. Instead, Imogen arrives into a veritable bomb-shell for this family and must find her way through secrets and unspoken words, to touch the life of Asher, her childhood friend and the one in the eye of this latest storm. \r\n\r\nImogen's Chance is a deep-thinking book, and the reader will not come away without impact. Rather than being negative it is hopeful, and at times, humorous. The romantic sub-plot between Imogen and Asher makes this read all the sweeter, gently developing in a believable manner and timing.\r\n\r\nCancer is one of the biggest challenges of our time and one requiring taste, tact and understanding, even when explored in a fictional setting. Paula Vince has achieved this and when I received news of a friend's diagnosis of an aggressive form cancer the day after finishing Imogen's Chance, I felt the message of hope whispering in my heart.\r\n\r\nThe characters were colourful and individual which was most pure and entertaining, when displayed through Asher and his thankfulness notes and Imogen's shy quirks. The progression of their Christian journey was appropriate to the subject matter and the more biblical aspect written in a manner that held me, without leaving me feeling that I was hearing a sermon. Life was at the centre of this book and that kept me turning the pages.\r\n\r\nThe big reveal moment tied up the reasons for Imogen's decision to travel to Australia and was executed through a narrative approach rather than dialogue. Although I wanted to hear the interaction of the main characters, the conclusion to Imogen's Choice was a satisfying end to an epic journey for two very likeable characters.\r\n\r\nAnother thought-provoking read from Paula Vince that still offers entertainment despite the real and raw subject matter. Thank you Paula for the review copy. I know many lives will be touched by this book. Recommended.\r\n Read LessRead less about When the unexpected happens, it can

e. In terms of story, I felt as if the heavy burden of past mistakes seemed fairly trivial at first - when I believed that all Imogen felt bad about was being part of a distraction that caused a bad accident. The story seemed to slow for me until about three quarters through I understood that this was not the burden she had been carrying at all. When I understood what the action was that had caused her such guilt, the story picked up considerably, and by the time I finished I was wowed, as usual. Next time I read it, I will know what it is she is carrying, and it will read quite differently, I'm sure. Read LessRead less about I am a fan of Paula Vince's writing,
