alobearAt the Scent of Water by Linda Nichols follows Sam and Annie, separated and grieving after the death of their daughter. It's about them coming to terms with the tragedy and finding a way forwards, with the help of their families and friends.
I really enjoyed this book - much more than I thought I would because it's billed as Christian Fiction and I was worried I would find the religious aspects off-putting. But I went with it and it was a beautiful story overall, extremely well told and very involving.
I wasn't 100% sold on all the decisions reached by the characters, but the ending was largely satisfying and came together in a very sweet and heartwarming way - but still acknowledging the complexities of the situation and that there would likely be more hardships and difficulties to overcome, which was pleasing.
I would definitely read more by this author.
