Book Review: Behind the Scenes by Jen Turano





Behind the Scenes by Jen Turano

This was a rather long book and I enjoyed it more then I thought I
would. The main character Permilia Griswold was fun to read about. She
was very interesting and was strong in faith. She wanted to do what was
right and help others. Her step mother and step sister were not very
nice and yet Permilia had a good attitude about things and didn't let
how they treated her stop her from doing the right things.

Permelia's Dad should of been paying more attention to how his daughter
was treated and also not agreed to not have anything to do with how his
step daughter was raised. She was horrible with throwing tantrums along
with items. She needed to grow up and act decent.

Was happy that Permelia found a man who could love her for who she was
and not for who society wanted her to be. They made a great couple and I
enjoyed reading about their relationship and how it progressed. There
was plenty of humorous things in the book which made for a fun read.

Will enjoy ready more of Jen Turano's books especially if she writes
about some of the other characters from this book.

Thanks to Bethany House for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Blue Monday!

9/52

So I'm doing my best to get these weekly wrap up's done on Monday each week. Today has been a DOOZY. It's 9 pm and I am just now sitting down to check email and such. So if this post isn't the most well written, you'll understand once you read next week's wrap up about today!  In happier news we started off last week with my BIIIIRRRTTHHHDAAAYYYYY!!! And nothing says your Birthday like watching One Tree Hill and eating a piece of ice cream cake with lunch. Spoiler alert, I had a piece of Ice Cream cake every single day last week.  The chalkboard was updated, but sadly none of my pictures with said chalkboard looked decent.  I rocked my Be-You-Tiful shirt and a new necklace my Mom had given me.  And then I had a little photo session in the piano room with my balloons. Because, it was my birthday. and I was alone. So why not!  This is pretty much me in a nutshell... :)  Normally, I try to get work done before students arrive...
