Lu (Modern Faith #1) by Beth Troy -- Review

About the Book

In a debut novel readers are calling “true to life,” “captivating,” and “cleverly written,” author Beth Troy takes on the story of Lu Sokolowski and her life upended. Lu’s plans have turned sideways, taking her back to the family and town she always planned to leave.

Lu is a modern woman’s honest journey to faith, that unapologetically addresses:

The big questions women ask about their beliefs.
The struggles women face in creating a fulfilling life.
The complexity of family relationships.
The tension between hope and reality.

Lu is a story for readers looking for real growth in relatable characters who aren’t afraid to ask real questions. It’s for women who want to experience the full spectrum of who they are and what they believe. It’s for women who want a story about how faith integrates into the whole life of a woman. You will want to share this story with a friend – after you read it again yourself.

Review

Beth Troy’s debut novel and first book in her Modern Faith series, Lu is an unforgettable, inspiring and absolutely delightful tale.  This is a heartfelt story of redemption that also has a bit of wit and sass mixed into the bargain.  It’s about finding the purpose of life and finding one’s self.  Readers will easily relate to Lue and her journey as she struggles in her personal life, family life, and her career.  This story has a large focus on Jesus and finding faith in Him.  This is a story that readers will not want to put down.
