What is this book about? (from Amazon.com’s product description): Football season becomes a time of realization that life’s most important victories are won off the field. A star running back with much to learn, a younger player with much to give, and a woman with a heart for underprivileged kids’ thrown together into a time of self-discovery and a new awareness of the things that matter most.
My comments: Well, I am back from my vacation in Costa Rica and I read about six books. The one I want to share with you today is a very typical Karen Kingsbury book entitled “Between Sundays.” Of course I loved this book, but it has the very Kingsbury formula with a wonderful happy ending. The unique aspects of this book which made it stand apart from the others is first it’s emphasis on the foster care system. The needs and stats are given. This book also explores somewhat life in the NFL. Alex Smith of the San Francisco 49ers writes the forward to the book. He heads up the Alex Smith Foundation which focuses on the foster care system. The characters are somewhat typical – nothing exciting. I’m not sure how realistic this story is, but it was enjoyable and gave me a bit of an escape on the long flight home from Costa Rica. Kingsbury’s books portray how we all wish life was. I recommend it if you are looking for a few hours of escape and enjoyment.
