What do you do when it seems like everybody else is getting their dreams and you're not? Heather Thompson Day shows us what we can do to shape ourselves while waiting so we are ready when it's our turn. Unpacking comparison and instant gratification, she teaches how we can cultivate perspectives and practices that help us trust God while we're waiting for our turn to come.

Full of Gems
Revisado: 07-08-21
As much as we don’t ever want to hear that it’s not our turn, and that we have to wait- Heather Thompson Day explains the ways that God uses this waiting time for our benefit and blessing. It’s almost as if she were directly speaking to me and my circumstances. The stories she shares are very relatable, and helpful. I will be reading it again- this time with a pen and paper to jot down the many gems I want to remind myself of as I wait for my turn.

Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn’t matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year’s Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights.

Beautifully Authentic Novel, the Writing is Spectacular
Revisado: 02-02-20
I could not put it down, or in this case- stop the audio! The characters are realistically relatable. The historical vignettes are perfectly placed. The imagery of both Dominican Republic and New York show the author’s literary genius. The storylines have so much depth and dimension, I was beyond impressed. I will definitely be looking out for more of Angie Cruz’s novels. The reader was also captivating.

It is November 25, 1960, and the bodies of three beautiful, convent-educated sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. El Caribe, the official newspaper, reports their deaths as an accident. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of General Raphael Leonidas Trujillo's dictatorship.

Alvarez’ Metamorphosis of the Butterflies
Revisado: 06-14-18
I was not aware of the story of the Mirabal sisters, and learned a lot from this reading- about the time period, Trujillo, and the lives of these 3 heroic women. Though Alvarez admits the novel is her own creation, not the true lives of the women, it pays tribute to the beauty and strength of the women, their families, and the people of the Dominican Republic. It was a beautifully, sad story told with respect, understanding, and some humor, that brought the characters to life in a way that I felt I knew them and wanted to see them vindicated, and their children receive the Justice they deserve.
