About the book:
A throwaway assignment is about to change two lives forever
Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she's been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who's just entered hospice care.
But there's more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she's not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it's a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that's just what Mrs. Kip will give her--but she's going to have to work for it.

My review:
What an amazing story and what an amazing woman! Clara Kip was such a hoot and truly inspiring as she had such love and compassion for people. She was always looking for what God wanted her to do and how He wanted her to serve but she wasn't always like that. When her husband died young she wasn't a believer and was lost in grief and anger for many years. We see glimpses into her life at different moments, at different turning points that changed her life's course and led her to where she was today. It was interesting seeing how Aidyn changes throughout the story as she starts to really see Mrs. Kip and dives into her story. It was fascinating learning about the Laotian refugee resettlement in Kansas City starting in the 70s as a result of the Vietnam War. I laughed; I cried. I was inspired! Ill definitely be looking for more books by Sara Brunsvold! I highly recommend this book!
I received a free copy from Revell. I was not compensated for my review. All opinions are my own.
