The Life Bestowed

This book deserves a wide audience and I recommend it without reservation. You won’t be disappointed.

The Life Bestowed is a must-read. Period.

Another brilliant book by Patricia Spencer with unforgettable characters, incredibly difficult situations, and an examination of love…  After reading the last paragraph, I set the book down and muttered: “Oh, wow… just wow”.

The characters’ interactions are filled with raw and vulnerable moments, exposing truths that are often difficult to confront. Despite the challenges they face, the story highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love, offering a profound examination of the human condition.

It is so incredibly real, intelligent, heart-warming, and gut-wrenching! I couldn’t put this book down! It had me smiling, then crying. It is truly brilliant!

It didn’t surprise me that [Patricia Spencer] has already won a coveted “Goldie”. The way she lets readers participate in the life and love of these two mature women is nothing but masterful, and the writing, the pacing, the insertion of backstories, the revelation of characters was a joy to read.
