"Words" Bargain Kindle Books

Brief of "Words" Kindle Book :
"I collect words. I keep them in a box in my mind. I'd like to keep them in a real box, something pretty, maybe a shoe box covered with flowered wrapping paper. Whenever I wanted, I'd open the box and pick up the papers, reading and feeling the words all at once. Then I could hide the box. But the words are safer in my mind. There, he can't take them."


Ten-year old Kaylee Wren doesn't speak. Not since her drug-addled mother walked away, leaving her in a remote cabin nestled in the towering redwoods-in the care of a man who is as dangerous as he is evil. With silence her only refuge, Kaylee collects words she might never speak from the only memento her mother left behind: a dictionary.


Sierra Dawn is thirty-four, an artist, and alone. She has allowed the shame of her past to silence her present hopes and chooses to bury her pain by trying to control her circumstances. But on the twelfth anniversary of her daughter's death, Sierra's control begins to crumble as the God of her childhood woos her back to Himself.


Brought together by Divine design, Kaylee and Sierra will discover together the healing mercy of the Word-Jesus Christ.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful


By Flemily Harper

I downloaded Words simply because it was free. I put off reading it because I was intimidated by the subject matter, but I read through all my other quick, fun kindle books, and I had nothing left to read, so I started it . . . and finished it the next day (despite working an eleven hour shift).

I lost track of how many times it had me in tears. Sometimes not pretty tears. I smiled. I cried. I wanted to (and sometimes did) call my best friend and/or my sister to tell them how much I was loving it along the way.

I read probably a kindle book or two every week, but I don't remember the last time I've been so wrapped up in a story. I felt like I needed to send the author a thank you note. I wish I could go back and pay for it.

Haunting. I'm still thinking about the characters, wondering how they are. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

A Book to be Experienced


By Nora A. Stlaurent

"I can't talk. I can't breathe. Tears choke me."

That's exactly how I felt when I read the last page of this kindle book. I'm thrilled to have received a review copy of such an astounding, debut novel. I haven't read anything this profound, inspiring and life changing since Redeeming Love and June Bug. The author is a master wordsmith and trusts the readers' imagination to fill in the blanks about the abuse Kaylee endures and talks about it without being graphic. Ginny L. Yttrup has overcome sexual abuse in her own life, is compassionate towards its victims and has penned a story filled with healing and hope. Ginny shows the reader a way to shine the light of Jesus in the darkest places of life in a real way.

Kaylee is a ten year old girl fascinated by words. Words are a colorful protective shield she uses to give her hope and clarify things she doesn't quite understand. Kaylee is a bright and loving child surviving day after day anticipating her mother's return.

I enjoyed Ginny Yttrup creative writing style. It was fun to read and had a powerful impact to the story, for example Kaylee says, "my favorite C word - co-loss-al. It means awesomely huge."

She uses it to describe the colossal redwood trees she loves. The tree is her special place to hide her earthly treasures and new words. The author's style adds richness to the novel and gives Kaylee a distinctive way of expressing herself.

"I'm so hungry I could eat the scrambled egg in one bite. Instead, I try to make it last, make it seem like more. I take tiny bites. I think of a word that I added to my box this week.

Sa-vor - verb 1) to perceive by taste or smell, esp, with realism 2) to give oneself to the enjoyment of: savor the best in life.

Yes, I savor each bit of my eggs."

This author's unique voice allows the reader to experience and see the healing power of love in action. This kindle book is not preachy but potent. The message is clear "Jesus is the word - the most important word"

Ginny had me going in parts of the story I thought I had figured out, and threw in twists I didn't see coming. Parts were surprising, suspenseful and I found myself nervous for the characters. This kindle book is quite an experience, one you'll never forget and don't want to miss. This novel is one of the reasons why I read and promote Christian Fiction. I highly, highly recommend it. Treat yourself to reading Words. I don't know where Ginny will go from here but I'll be following.

A Must Read


By Sandra K. Stiles

This was such a powerful kindle book. Kaylee Wren is a young ten year old girl abandoned by her mother. She is left with her mother's boyfriend. When the mother doesn't return the boyfriend burns all of the mother's possessions and most of Kaylee's things. She is left there for him to do with as he pleases, and he does.Kaylee clings to a dictionary and two other kindle books left by her mother. Two kindle books "he" doesn't know she has. She has stopped talking. She keeps her words in her head. This is the one place he can not find them and take them away. She is a survivor. As I read I wondered how she was still alive. She was hungry and dirty. She holds out hope that her mother will come back for her. She even tells her self that her mother has amnesia. This is how she deals with the situation.The imagery and use of metaphors is wonderful. The author uses the redwood tree and its resilience to explain how Kaylee is a survivor. In the story, when Kaylee can steal away from the cabin, she hides in the base of a redwood tree. She keeps those things she holds most dear in that tree. It is here that Sierra, an artist, finds her. The meeting of these two is not by chance. Sierra is dealing with the anniversary of her own daughter's death. Twelve years earlier she had given birth to a daughter who lived only nine days. Drugs she took while pregnant was the root cause of her daughter's death. Sierra has been running from the pain and from God for a long time. With Sierra's painful past, and Kaylee's current pain, only God could bring two dysfunctional people together to show how God can heal. Kaylee uses words to protect her and help her heal. Seirra dives into her art. She talked about building layer upon layer, yet after Kaylee entered her life she begins to peel away layer after layer of her past.It is proof that a person must deal with the past instead of holding it in, if they are to ever begin the healing process. Forgiveness must be given for complete healing. We see both Kaylee and Sierra dealing with their past. We also see that they have learned that dealing with their past through God's helping love is so much easier. This is a kindle book I highly recommend. Don't let the topic of sexual abuse scare you away. The messages of hope, forgiveness, redemption and love are more than enough to combat the scary topic. This powerful kindle book will take you on a rollercoaster ride you will not soon forget
