Book Review: Finding Me

I recently had the opportunity to read the book Finding Me by Kathryn Cushman. This contemporary Christian fiction novel tells the story of Kelli, a young adult who recently lost her father. Kelli has always been told that her mother and siblings died in a fire when she was a baby, but when she's going through her father's papers, she uncovers shocking news about her past. She takes this information and embarks on a journey to Tennessee to try and find out the truth. Kelli only intends to stay for awhile and not get involved in the lives of the people in this small town, but she quickly becomes a part of the lives of people she believes may be her family.

The characters and setting of this book are interesting and well-developed. The interactions among the characters are realistic and believable as well. The faith aspect of this book is light but still integral. There isn't a lot of overt "preaching", but church is a big part of the lives of the characters and part of Kelli's struggle as searches to find the truth. I would recommend this book to fans of realistic fiction books.

I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for this review; all opinions are my own.
