MY REVIEW
Her Treasured Love, is a tender story about forgiveness, and learning to follow God's path for you, even when it seems impossible.
The characters are warm, with a lot of faith and conviction. I loved the spiritual aspect of the story and didn't want to put it down. It was an enjoyable read, uplifting and inspiring.
I was provided with a copy from the author and voluntarily choose to review it. All opinions are my own.
Q& A
1.
Tell us a little about your book.
Her
Treasured Love is a tender story about love, forgiveness, and learning to
follow God's direction, even when it seems impossible. It’s also about overcoming
trauma and learning to trust and love again.
2.
What was the hardest part of the writing process for you?
That
would be to write the scene about her traumatic past as it’s close to home and
all the pain was resurfaced. But I find that for me to be able to write with a
lot of feelings for readers to connect with, I myself usually have some
connection to these experience that becomes the characters. I believe God
allows me to experience them in order to help others heal through these
stories.
3.
What scene were you most excited to write?
That would be the scene where the main
characters finally came together after so much struggle. It was a happy moment
for me and I hope readers will feel that too.
4.
Who is your favorite character in this book and why?
Sophia
was the bubbliest character and reminds me of the side of me that doesn’t comes
out very often. She is sometimes seen as materialistic but dee down she is wise
and knows how to come through with the right answers.
5.
What is your advice for any readers who would love to write a book?
Pray
first and know if it’s the will of God, that way your story will flow as it
should and you won’t be easily discouraged when you are criticized by others
who might not agree with what you have to share.
6.
Is there anything else you'd like to add about your book that you think readers
should know before picking it up?
This
book will allow you to stop seeing
yourself as not good enough for the good things that come your way, which
often times allow us to live in regret later. It will show you how to move past
that showing you how God really sees us and gives you the courage to embrace the blessing that is yours.
About the Author
Marshalee
Patterson was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She always had a love for reading. It
was while attending Merl Grove High School that she discovered she loved
writing stories. Some of her favourite novels were written by Charles Dickens
and Victor Hugo, as she found she liked the true-to-life stories to which we
all can relate.
Despite
discovering her love for reading and writing, she pursued a banking career as a
Bank Teller after leaving high school. Not until after she went to Italy in
2003 did she start reliving her experiences about which she wrote. She gives
credit to being a Christian; it is the Holy Spirit that guides her in writing
her books. Marshalee hopes that through her novels, she can inspire people of
all ages with the message of hope in Christ, to show them that through Him
comes deliverance.
With
this medium, her goal is to supply readers with the knowledge of victoriously
overcoming Satan’s tactics. Creating these stories exposes the devices Satan
uses and allows readers to better detect various situations in which demonic
doors open. Through spiritual warfare and prayers are often spoken, all of
which have seen results, she hopes readers can learn to stand firm against the
devil.
She
is a lover of nature and its tranquillity. She finds nature refreshing and
peaceful. She loves different cultures, especially Spanish culture. A
culture she strongly feels strengthens our ability to learn to appreciate where
we have otherwise been ungrateful. She adores Salsa music dances, well, too.
She is a proud Jamaican.
