Totally Charming

Waves Of Change In Pelican Crossing by Maggie Christensen is a very charming contemporary novel that I adored. It is the sixth book in the Pelican Crossing series but can be read as a stand-alone. I recommend reading the books in order for character progression and the background stories to the characters.

Pelican Crossing is a place we would all love to reside, where the welcomes are warm and the coffee is flowing. It is a place where people go to heal. “Pelican Crossing was a good place to heal.”

Home is the place that calls us – whether we are in a good or a bad place, we all long to return home “Livvy began to feel better. Nothing had changed but she was home in Pelican Crossing.” Home is the place where people love us.

We see that the worst hurt comes from those we thought we could trust. ‘Friendly fire’ really pulls the rug out from under a character. The storyline reminded me of Joseph’s story in Genesis – what others meant for harm; God used for good. Sometimes our biggest disappointments can turn into our biggest triumphs.
