Blue Columbine by Jennifer RodewaldMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
If you are a fan of redemption stories, this book should be on your to-read list.
With addiction and its effect on the person and their relationships as the main subject, this was not an easy read. But throughout the story there was an underling thread of hope, and the faith element was strong.
I loved how the writer was able to clearly show the impact of addiction and a life far away from God on Andy’s life and then the total 180degree difference when he finally realized that he can not change for a person, but true change comes from God and then see the evidence in his life.
I loved how Jamie stayed strong throughout this story in her faith and relationship with God and made difficult choices when God led her that way.
This was my first story read by this author and I enjoyed her captivating writing and look forward to more from her.

About the book:
Best friends—maybe more—until addiction shatters everything.
Reeling from professional failure, Andrew Harris needs a fresh start. When he moves back to Colorado to join a Denver law firm, he runs into Jamie, his childhood sweetheart. She is still the kind and faithful girl he remembers—not to mention beautiful and still single. With her by his side, Andrew is confident he can overcome the demons that he tries to keep hidden.
Jamie Carson is thrown off balance when Andy resurfaces in her life. Though her faith in God has remained solid, even through her mother’s long illness and after her death, Jamie battles loneliness. Andy fills her days, whispering significance to her heart. But his rejection of the faith she thought they’d once shared, and his alarming drinking habit keep her heart from plunging into deep, murky waters. Or do they?
Andy pursues an intimacy Jamie knows she must guard against. But as the line between loyalty and love blurs, things get complicated—until a devastating blow breaks their relationship. For Jamie, one thing becomes clear: Andy needs a miracle, and she isn’t it.
Will Andrew allow the hand of grace to redeem his legacy of addiction, or will he and Jamie both remain casualties of heartbreak?
This Christian Fiction Book dives into first love and second chances, romance and redemption.

About the author:
Jennifer Rodewald is passionate about the Word of God and the powerful vehicle of story. Four kids and her
own personal superman make her home in southwestern Nebraska delightfully chaotic.
Born in Colorado, she experienced both the seclusion of rugged mountain living and the busy streets of a Denver suburb during her growing up years. Somewhere in the middle of college, she married a Husker and found her way back to the quiet lifestyle of a rural area, which suits just fine.
Blessed with a robust curiosity, Jen loves to research. Whether she’s investigating the history of a given area, the biography of a Christian icon, or how nature declares the glory of God, her daily goal is to learn something new. Aiming to live with boundless enthusiasm, her creed is vision, pursuit, and excellence.
Jen lives and writes in a lovely speck of a town where she watches with amazement while her children grow up way too fast, gardens, and marvels at God’s mighty hand in everyday life.
