Healing Sands review

Healing Sands

A Sullivan Crisp Novel
By Nancy Rue and Stephen Arterburn

Book Description

In the struggle for healing, when do you fight and when do you surrender?

Ryan Alexander-Coe is a talented photojournalist who has been on assignment all over the world. But when her two sons choose to live with their father after her divorce, Ryan must give her career up for a small-town newspaper job in order to be near them.

Life spirals out of control when her fifteen-year-old son is arrested. Desperation--both over the fact that she cannot believe her son commited this crime and that he refuses to talk to her--sends her anger level soaring . . . and eventually sends her storming into Dr. Sullivan Crisp's office in search of ways to cope with her anger. Sully is in town assisting at one of his clinics and continuing his search for Belinda Cox, the woman whose guilt-inducing counseling caused the death of his wife and daughter. When Sully's search ends in disaster, both he and Ryan will have to fully rely on God--rather than themselves--to survive these storms.

My Review: I have read the other Sullivan Crisp books recently and this one did not disappoint. I think that I enjoyed the characters from this story the most out of any in this series. The main character in Healing Sands is dealing with a lot of anger as her life has not turned out the way that she would like it. Yet she finds healing through the assistance of a great therapist a.k.a. Sully. I have enjoyed getting to know Sully through this series and this one dives in even deeper into his background as he also tries to find healing from his painful memories. Very unique characters with a very real story.
