Finding Me by Kathryn CushmanMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Rating 4.5
Wounded people tend to create more wounded people.
This was a really good story. It grabbed my attention from the start and I read the first 50% in two days! The mystery around what happened to Kelli and her dad was intriguing and the journey Kelli took to find the truth was heart breaking, especially some of the flash backs from her growing up years.
I enjoyed how the story was told during current events, letters and journal entries. I also loved Beth -she was a bit bossy but had such a sincere heart. I liked the connection she and Kelli had from the start.
Be even more grateful for your courage and integrity. Hold tight to them. Once you start to let them go, they’re almost impossible to get back.
There was so much healing in this story for Kelli, and especially finding a road to a relationship with God. I enjoyed all the different characters which played a role in steering Kelli to a revelation of what a relationship with God truly is.
We have to make the decision that we’re going to do the right thing no matter what it costs us before we get pressed in tight between the hard place and the easier place.
Kathryn Cushman has a way of taking you along with the characters and also writing a heartbreaking story. There was one event which was just raw and devastating.
The ending for me was a bit faster than what I wanted. There was a whole build op in this story and the ending felt a bit too easy/tame for me.

About the book:
What would you do if you learned your life was a lie?
All her life, Kelli Huddleston has been told the story of a fire--a fire that killed her mother and two siblings when she was an infant. After her father's death though, she uncovers evidence of a different story, including clippings about a boat accident that killed a young father and his infant daughter. And Kelli quietly realizes the story of her life has been a fiction.
How far would you go to discover the truth?
Armed with only a few pictures of what she thinks might be her family, Kelli crosses the country to Tennessee, determined to uncover the truth about what happened over twenty years ago in a small southern town. When the trip threatens to open doors to the past better left shut, and her plans for the future are jeopardized, Kelli is faced with an agonizing choice that will change her life forever
