Annie, uma moça que recebe uma chamada de um primo distante e descobre que pertence a uma família com legado na indústria do chilli (ah e tem um namorado estupidamente detestável - peço desculpa a brutalidade, mas ele irritava-me profundamente 🤦🏻♀️);
Ward que coloca uma prótese que o faz adquirir conhecimentos de longa memória muito rápido, mas que com isso adquire também um “pequenito” fetiche por sombras;
Gordon, que é contratado para investigar um problema nas lojas de conveniência que pertencem ao seu primo. Para mim esta foi a história mais chata de todas, em parte porque não atava nem desatava e porque já estava farta de ler sobre um crime a envolver 💩.
Alex, um veado, sim, vocês leram bem! UM VEADO! Temos uma história contada por um animal e foi aí que pensei “pronto, o Harold já bebeu uma pinguinha a mais e já ouve um veado a contar a história” x’D
Jane, a que eu mais gostei, por se passar durante a pandemia e podermos ir acompanhando a Jane durante todas as mudanças que o COVID trouxe às nossas vidas, bem como de todo o processo pré-eleições dos EUA.
Annie, a girl who receives a call from a distant cousin with a legacy in the chilli industry and has a stupidly obnoxious boyfriend (I apologize for the brutality of my words, but he really annoyed me ahah);
Ward, who puts on a prosthesis that makes him acquire knowledge of long memory very quickly, but with that he also acquires a “little” 🥴 shadow fetish;
Gordon, who is hired as a PI by a cousin to solve a problem in the convenience store his cousin owns. For me this was the most boring story of all, in part due to the fact that it was a bit gross and I was sick of reading a mistery about poop. 🤭
Alex, a deer, yes, you read that right! A DEER! We have a story told by an animal and that's when I thought "okay, Harold already had a little too much drink! He's already hearing a deer telling a story" 😹
Jane, the one I liked the most, for taking place during the pandemia. I loved being able to accompany Jane through all the changes that COVID has brought to our lives, as well as the entire US pre-election process.

Este livro é composto por várias histórias de várias autoras "No Place Like Home" de Amy Clipston, "When Love Returns" de Beth Wiseman, "The Courage to Love" de Shelley Shepard Gray e "What Love Built" by Kathleen Fuller.
Adorei um aspeto deste livro que penso que nunca tinha lido em nenhum outro: no fim de cada história há um capítulo de reflexão onde são colocadas algumas questões para se discutir (talvez em grupo?). Achei isso muito interessante e fez-me pensar se não seriam "trabalhos de casa" da catequese.
Com trabalhos de casa destes a catequese até ia ser mais dinâmica e ensinar a refletir sobre determinados aspetos de forma menos maçadora.
É difícil escolher a minha história favorita, mas definitivamente gostei mais das primeiras duas:
"No Place Like Home" traz-nos a história de Eva, uma moça que vive com os seus sogros desde que o seu marido morreu num incêndio. No entanto, Eva retorna à terra natal para que o seu filho tenha a oportunidade de conhecer os pais dela e depara-se com o homem que era suposto casar com ela (por vontade dos pais) a viver lá na quinta deles a troco de nenhum salário. Enquanto Eva desconfia das intenções de Ian e tenta descobrir o que o mantém na quinta, Eva perdoa-se a si e aos pais e acaba por reacender uma paixão antiga.
"When Love Returns" traz-nos a história de Sarah que fugiu de casa há 6 anos com uma gravidez indesejada. Agora, devido ao Furacão Harvey, vê-se obrigada a pedir ajuda e a voltar para casa dos pais com uma filha que eles nunca conheceram. No meio disso tudo há Abram, seu ex-namorado que não sabe porque Sarah fugiu naquela altura.
Ambas me lembram a história do filho pródigo e são sobre o perdão que devemos a nós mesmos e aos que nos são queridos e, por vezes, nos magoam. Além disso, fazem-nos pensar sobre a gratidão, que devemos ser gratos pelo que temos, pelo que perdemos e pelo que podemos fazer para construir um futuro melhor.
De uma forma geral este livro fala sobre novas oportunidades e da capacidade de exercer o perdão.
Uma leitura ideal para o Thanksgiving! :)
Classificação: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Sinopse: Some secrets are worth killing forThe ancient city of Kepos sits in an isolated valley, cut off from the outside world by a towering wall. Behind it, the souls of the dead clamour for release. Or so the priesthood says.Kala has never had any reason to doubt their word - until her father dies in suspicious circumstances that implicate the city's high priest. She's determined to investigate, but she has a more immediate problem: the laws of the city require her mother to remarry straight away.Kala's new stepfather is a monster, but his son Leon is something altogether more dangerous: kind.With her family fractured and the investigation putting her life in danger, the last thing Kala needs is romance. She would rather ignore Leon entirely, however difficult he makes it. But when she learns the truth of what really clamours behind the wall at the end of the valley, she faces a choice: share what she knows and jeopardise her escape, or abandon him to his fate along with the rest of the city.If she doesn't move fast, then no one will make it out of the valley alive.
