Phoebe Lange has it all--a Master's Degree, an adoring fiancé, and a future with unlimited possibilities--but something is missing. Orphaned at age five and raised by her grandmother, Phoebe longs for a past and a sense of connectedness, but it is not until she stumbles upon a scrapbook dating back to the 1920's that she discovers a terrible secret about her family's history which triggers an identity crisis. Phoebe becomes obsessed with the mysterious ancestor, also named Phoebe Lange, whom she is convinced is the key to answering the questions that have plagued her. But the answers may not be what she has in mind. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I first read this novel around two decades ago. It's kind of a darker read than I remember, though it's not too depressing like other contemporary fiction I find full of dry gloom—especially stories focused on women, including other Christian novels.
This story has mysterious and fantastical/slipstream elements that are quite interesting. And because I only remembered a fraction of the plot, I could read it with a sense of suspense all over again and was even in for some surprises.
Now, I do feel certain chunks of the story are on the nose, and others are repetitive. Also, while I'm sure much concerning Phoebe's crisis of faith is realistic, I personally find the angle to be a tired one for ChristFic. It makes me wonder what many people are being taught to base their faith on in the first place. But that's a whole real-life discussion I won't get into.
While it wasn't a happy-go-lucky kind of stroll, this walk down memory lane held my attention, and I ultimately found it to be touching. ( )
