My thoughts so far on Fifteen Years by Kendra Norman- Bellamy

Josiah Tucker, the son of a substance dependent and neglectful mother, spent most of his childhood years in the custody of the State, living in foster homes throughout Atlanta, Georgia. At the age of fourteen, he was taken from  the foster family that he had grown to love, the Smiths, and returned to his negligent birth mother. Enduring the hardships faced while living with his birth mother JT manages to makes something of his life.  However, fifteen years after being taken from the Smiths and at the peak of success, he finds himself feeling empty and at his lowest.  When he decides to reconnect with the Smiths, JT finds his faith in God renewed and discovers his attraction to his foster sister.



MY Thoughts: After receiving this book on Friday, I tore into it trying to make the tour date today. Unfortunately, real life stepped in keeping me from finishing the book. So far, I am thoroughly enjoying the story.

Ever since I read A Love So Strong, I've been a Kendra Norman Bellamy fan. If you know her work, you know you are in for a heartwarming story with an uplifting message. My thoughts will be up this week so stay tuned! But if you can't wait for me, click around the blogosphere to read other bloggers' thoughts.
