Janice Thompson

Dear Readers,

 

I was looking for a light romance to review in celebration of Valentine's Day and The Dream Dress by Janice Thompson fit the bill.  Janice has a gift for writing cute stories, with powerful meaning tucked in between the pages.

 

Gabi dreams of being more than a seamstress, she wants to design wedding dresses.  Her sketch book is full of ideas and she is working on a dress for her friend, but she knows that if her boss finds out what she is doing on the side he will fire her and she can't afford that.

 

I could go into more details of what the storyline is about, but those are easy enough to get off the back cover.  Janice does a lovely job of writing a story that is for a variety of ages with an important message to us all. 

I loved the Cinderella sample and the thought that maybe that fairytale wasn't written about a prince and the cinder-girl, but about God's love for us.  Janice weaves that through out the entire story, different themes about God's love for us instead of a person's love for us.  How maybe that is what we are really searching for when we are looking for love in all the wrong people.

 

With the themes of finding a mate and the relationship between fathers and daughters running throughout the entire book, this may seem like a light read, but it is so much more than that.  It is one I would gladly share with any one struggling with those issues in their lives.

 

Happy Reading
