The Green Coat: A Tale from the Dust Bowl Years

By Rosemary McDunn

I could not put down Rosemary McDunn's THE GREEN COAT. It's amazing how naturally McDunn weaves God's sovereignty into the story to explain why God allows hurt, death and disappointment into our lives. The story has a lot to say about how, in the midst of tragedy, God is at work through the silent, selfless works of sacrifice and love, which are paid back one-hundred fold. It was a delightful three hours absorbing a work of art that fed my soul. This would be a great book for public school settings to counter the bombardment of books about dragons and witchcraft. The Green Coat is the type of historical fiction that is at once both educational and morally sound.

Join Elizabeth's mid-life flight to the Holy Land as she questions her marriage and her life. See how God reaches her through people and events. Experience Elizabeth's walk on the Via Dolorosa, the way of the cross, and her kayak trip down the Jordan River. Sit with her at an outdoor cafe and marvel at the sights and sounds of Jerusalem. Listen as Elizabeth learns the names of God and hears about the matriarchs of the faith: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah. Discover, with Elizabeth, a great deal about Jewish traditions and festivals, and the true nature of agape love on the pilgrimage of a lifetime.

I loved it. As soon as I started, I was hooked. It's a masterpiece! The ending was perfect! In "Elizabeth," there is something for every woman to identify with, whether it is problems within a marriage, dissatisfaction with self, reconciling with a troubled past, or raising doubts about one's success as a mother's all there, and it's not contrived. The story is naturally told and open-ended, as our lives really are. I thank God for the opportunity to read Elizabeth, and, I hope to have the pleasure of reading more of Cheryl Dickow's books very soon.
