In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March has been designated as Reading Month. To celebrate and encourage reading, we are asking local officials, residents and WKTV staff and volunteers to tell us about a book that they enjoy. Happy Reading!
Today’s selection comes from WKTV volunteer Donna Kidner Smith. Smith is a pastor, teaches at Grand Valley State University and recently hosted the WKTV Voices’ Storytelling Project at The Stray.
Book: Sensible Shoes
Author: Sharon Garlough Brown
Genre: Christian Fiction
I appreciate this book that’s written about five women who, each in a different stage of life, question themselves as well as how to best navigate their situation. They make assessments about themselves and one another, often inaccurately. As they become more familiar with each other and essentially “build community,” they make themselves vulnerable and recognize the importance of support and friendship. Most readers can relate to at least one character and some see a bit of themselves in each one.
