Book Review and Giveaway! 'When Sparrows Fall' by Meg Moseley

The Review: Miranda Hanford is a widowed mother of six children, living a secluded life controlled by her pastor.  She wants out of the cult-like church that has been her life since she married at age 19.  When she faints and has a bad fall after fasting, her brother-in-law Jack comes to take care of Miranda and the children.  He is shocked by their reclusive lifestyle and wants to help them.  Miranda tries to hide her secrets from Jack while figuring out a way to escape the church. 

When I read the description of 'When Sparrows Fall' by Meg Moseley, I was eager to read a fictional book about a homeschooling family.  I soon learned there were many more reasons why I would enjoy this book!  I started out having a hard time getting into the story, but that changed quickly, and I soon couldn't put it down.  It is well-written-the author does an outstanding job of drawing you into the characters' lives.  A discussion guide is also included, so I think this would be an excellent choice for a book club!  Disclaimer: I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
