All for a Story by Allison Pittman

You may have noticed I haven't posted much lately.  I have been reading... some books just did not inspire me to post on them at all and some I have want to mention but have been too busy and traveling, so have put it off till now.  So please forgive me as I post on this book and the next few, since it has been a few weeks since I read them.

I have to say that I liked this book but not as much as the previous book (All for a Song).  The story was a little slow going at first but still enjoyable, further into the book it does pick up pace.  Along with the pace, the humor and draw of the characters lure you further in. Monica is a fun loving, witty and at times reckless "Monkey".  She encompasses a dame, who thoroughly enjoys the roaring twenties.   Max, who you will really like, is a good, strong male character.  He is steady, honorable and has a heart of gold. 

The story ends well, but not in a - everything is wrapped up nice and pretty bow.  Pittman leaves some things to be worked out  in your imagination but with hope that all is good forthcoming. 

Pittman nicely touches on the topics of identity, grace, sacrifice, salvation, family and more, all without being preachy but thoughtful.  A good read.
