| When I was twelve, I made a naïve, yet desperate pact with God to keep my ailing mother alive. It was the first time I'd ventured something so brazen—making a contract with the Almighty… So begins the story of Becky Owens, a talented and passionate young pianist on the verge of adolescence when she learns the devastating news of her mother’s critical illness. As the daughter of a country preacher in Lancaster County, Becky knows well the significance of sacrifice, and in her bargain with God, she vows to exchange her most cherished possession for her mother’s life. Hospital rules only add to Becky’s sorrow—twelve-year-olds aren’t allowed to visit, so Becky and her mother must share tearful smiles through Lancaster General’s sunroom window. But a realization of the power of music and a lesson in unconditional love compel Becky to rethink her "deal" with God, and the sunroom becomes a place where miracles happen… |

If you have a need, READ THIS REVIEW THROUGH.
WHO WOULD READ THIS BOOK? ? ? ?
Someone who faces the death of a friend, family member, or even themselves. Let's face it, death is a struggle on the emotions, especially if it is connected to someone loved. This is such a story of that kind of love. Yet it offers HOPE.
Also, someone who faces a serious illness themselves. Those who have been there, know of the pain and loneliness, not to mention, the anxiety in the risk of loosing contact with their family. This small, easily read book, takes a look as serious illness and how it touches the ill person, a mate, children, and even friends and family. It's not a lecture, but compassion in story form.
Beverly Lewis is a seasoned author, noted for her many Amish stories. Becky, the child telling the story, is of a Mennonite family and reaches out with a commitment, a pact, with God that turns out to be almost a pact with the Devil, instead. Can she fulfill her own self-imposed sacrifice to save her mother? It is a touching story, "a shadow of what truly happened inside my young heart", according to the written testimony of the author.
If you know of someone who is or has faced illness, death, or other human suffering, this is a small book that would be welcome to the inner needs of that person. You better buy one for yourself at the same time, because if you read it first, you will not want to give it away.
A TOP-NOTCH story by a gifted and beautiful lady of words. |

| The Sunroom is a bit different from the many Beverly Lewis books I have read. This is a sensitive story about a beautiful Spiritual Healing told as only Beverly Lewis can, with warmth and grace. |
