No OtherBy Shawna K. WilliamsDescription:
In the aftermath of WWII all Jakob Wilheimer wants is to get over his pain, get on with life, and if at all possible, forgive those who've wronged his family -- including himself. But it's hard to do when there are constant reminders. One of them being his former schoolmate, now teacher, Meri Parker -- Miss Port Delamar Pearl, Mayor's daughter, Belle of the town -- Meri Parker. Book Takeaway:There's several messages. First is that we are short-sighted, and though our desires may seem to dictate one course of action, God sees the big picture. I also wanted to convey that the detour from God's plan often begins with something small. Something that seems insignificant, but for some reason doesn't sit quite right -- that little warning in the back of our mind. Last, my message is to young men and young women. Girls, he can not be that Knight in Shining Armor, and it's not his fault. Guys, don't think you can. You'll fail, and you may even get in the way. Why the author wrote this book:I wrote this book because I wanted to tell an inspirational story about getting up after you fall -- that even Christians can stumble, but it's never to late to call on the Lord. |
Reviews
"I read most of this book in one sitting. There is "no other" story like it. Seriously."

"Excellent debut novel! "No Other" is the kind of book that will draw you in make you forget anything negative that's going on in the world as you succumb to the enjoyment of the story."
