Why read it?
1 author picked A Shepherd's Song as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A Shepherd’s Song was an unexpected Christmasy delight.
More real, more raw, and less sterile than characters I sometimes meet in Christian fiction, David Shepherd was so well-drawn in his unloved, screwed-up desperation, as was the heroine, Gloria. The Pittsburgh setting, which coincided with my time in college there, made my Yinzer heart happy.
The author did a great job of interweaving ideas and comparisons from David's area of expertise: astronomy. And, she employed some of the best original, well-crafted similes I’ve read.
From Carolyn's list on modern-day romantic escapes for frazzled Catholic moms.
