<p>The novel, Awakening, by Patricia Hershey Owen, is a fact-filled sweeping story of love, loss and redemption through unexpected discoveries forever altering lives. Readers are invited to enter the pages and be transported into a world of timeless meaning. This storyline offers everyone a chair in the Micelli’s great room where readers can sit in anonymity beside the character they find freely expressing their own questions. Questions that actively involve a group of nine who search to find answers. Answers that basically twist and turn into more questions. This group is a cross-cultural experience of study which shows an understanding of differences in language, time and social mores; all which encourage us to see scriptures in fresh and unexpected ways.In 2003, random events brought this unrelated iconoclastic group to Knoll Hill from all over the world. In the book’s odd number chapters, a group of women with timeless life stories meet and choose to stay for a study of what the world has called, a powerful religious divide of scriptural understanding. The adventure, turmoil and suspense of each story is filled with intrigue as they bring their own set of questions about who God is. The heartbreaking, heartwarming thread running through the book’s even chapters is a dual story of a war-torn Europe during WWII. Enduring the heavy cost of survival a German family grapples to stay alive through the strength of their faith.Throughout the story the reader is brought into the confrontation and exultation of seeking God in multiple situations. As individuals in the study group begin to share deeply held secrets, they find themselves freed to ask their unasked questions. Author’s warning: The integrity of those questions will continue to disrupt a reader’s heart and mind long after the book is returned to a shelf.</p>
