My Thoughts

Livie’s mama lies in a coma inside their little home near a Louisiana bayou. While Livie’s daddy and her sisters can help care for her mama, she can’t bring herself to touch her. And Livie holds a powerful secret inside herself about the day of her mama’s accident. When Livie starts a quest to find a way to heal her mama, she finds that she must first heal herself.

The Healing Spell by Kimberley Griffiths Little is a story of love and forgiveness and the complicated relationships mothers can have with their daughters. As one of three girls, Livie feels like her mother has always loved her sisters more that she loves her. That’s because Livie is more comfortable hunting and fishing and raising crawfish traps on the bayou with her daddy than she is acting like a young lady. She also doesn’t get along with her sisters for the same reason.

This book teach both mothers and daughters how family members can find a way to appreciate each other’s differences, and what role faith plays in our lives. It should also be fun for readers to learn about the bayou country of Louisiana and the way that some people lived.
 
The Healing Spell is more of a classic story for me. One like Old Yeller, and Huckleberry Finn. While I was reading I couldn't help to think that I was back in middle school sitting in class. This was definitely a book to enjoy and reminisce about the glory days. The Healing Spell is a delight, and I highly recommend it.
