The Guest Book

I am afraid that I cannot identify with Macy who feels that she needs the one person who understands her and is just like her. I have always agreed with the saying,"""" If two people think the same about everything, one of them is unnecessary. """" Oh well, this is fiction, so no doubt she will be happy ever after with this guy. The rest of us in the real world, will appreciate the different interests, strengths and weaknesses of the man God gave us. Respect and committed love makes us appreciate people who are not like us and who do not understand us. Even our 2 eyes see things from different perspectives, which gives better vision

Macy Dillon works in a local supermarket and satisfies her artistic bent by painting the store windows, because a single mother can't afford art school. She cares for her daughter, Emma, rescues and bails out her part-boy brother, Max, and spends time with her mother, who is still mourning the loss of her husband after ten years. But now her mother thinks it is time to move on, and proposes the family spend two weeks in their old vacation haunt of Sunset Beach, at Time in a Bottle, the house they always leased. \\r\\n\\r\\nMacy goes to the beach house hoping that she will be able to reconnect with the artist who drew her pictures in the guest book at the house they always rented. She is surprised to be courted by three men, all of whom could be her mystery artist: Nate, the pastor; Wyatt, the boy next door; and Dockery, who is volunteering at the art camp Emma is attending. But, more importantly, she begins to rediscover the faith in God she lost after her father died. \\r\\n\\r\\nI really enjoyed The Guest Book. I thought it was going to be general Christian fiction, but it actually turned into a very nice romance with lots of chemistry, and an interesting and original plot.
