Wild in the Hollow: On Chasing Desire and Finding the Broken Way Home by Amber C. Haines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wild in the Hollow is an engaging autobiography of a young woman who lost her way, finds herself in a desperate place, and opens herself to the God of hope, purpose, and security. Amber Haines’ vulnerability is to be admired as she puts down on paper thoughts, attitudes, and actions that most of us keep close to our skin. Her journey through young adulthood, marriage, and motherhood goes many directions while she looks for authenticity from others and herself. I identified with her strong desire to live for God, love her husband, and raise her children well. Her stark openness hit like I was reading her journal. She searches for peace, a simple life uncluttered with our society’s trappings so she can focus on God’s reality for her. I found myself underlining many truths throughout the book. I doubt this will be the last we hear from her.
I received this book from Revell Reads/Net Galley for my honest review which I have given.
