Dear Readers,
The Blue Bottle Club by Penelope J. Stokes orginally released in 1999. It didn't have a great cover, but hidden inside was a fantastic story. It was one of those books that I kept recommending even after it went out of print.
That is why I am happy to report that Blue Bottle is once again available. I am not sure how long Thomas Nelson will be offering it, but if you haven't read it before, grab it now or put it on your Christmas wish list while you have the chance.
One Christmas day in 1929 four teenage girls wrote down their hopes and dreams for their own futures. They put them all in a unique blue bottle and then hid it in the rafters of the house. The next day life continues and they forget that the bottle is waiting for their return. Years later, reporter Brenna Delaney is given the bottle and she sets out to find the girls and to see how their lives really turned out.
That was what made this book so very interesting, each girl had some very specific dreams for herself, and yet God had other ideas. Were they better? Sometimes yes, and sometimes it was harder than expected, but isn't that true about real life. It is never what we planned out, but it always gets us to where God plans us to be.
Happy Reading
