Summary: 5 Stars
'Reflections of a Quiet Storm' is the story of Pauline Bridges, a woman who despite all that she had endured, remains focused on her promising future as an owner of a nurse staffing agency. Pauline had endured enough hurt and pain to make any person in their right mind want to give up and die. But not this woman. Relying on her faith, she parlayed her way through rape, scandal, abuse, and betrayal, and bounced back like a true soldier. The book combines inspiration with real-life everyday issues to keep you turning the pages to get to the shocking ending. This book was a very easy read and the flow was exceptional. Every question was answered, and there were no loose endings.
If you are in search of the perfect book to take the beach, or anywhere you would need a good book to curl up to, this book is highly reccommended.
I would rate this book 5 stars because it is very well written. It has the perfect mix of drama, sprinkled with just the right dose of christian themes to bring out the message of forgiveness without preaching, which is very good. I also liked how the book paid homage to nurses, focusing on their stresses and strains they face juggling work, home, life, and family. I just love how cool, calm and collected Pauline was despite all she was dealing with. Her past prepared her for her wonderful future. This book brings back that good old fashioned storytelling with solid a solid storyline and excellent transitions.
Job well done!

Summary of Reflections of a Quiet Storm
As CEO and owner of a new nursing registry, Pauline Bridges is striving to reach the height of success, and then unexpectedly tragedy strikes. After a near fatal automobile accident, she climbs from the wreckage unscathed. Shortly thereafter, God begins to reveal her past. Chronicled in a series of stories, her life unfolds through a long journey; a pathway that unveils many secrets that not even her children had been told. Memories, dreams and flashbacks of her mother's abuse at the hands of her stepfather, a rape during adolescence, her brother's stormy lifestyle, and the agony of a marriage that was destroyed by her ex-husband, Naman's infidelity and substance abuse, all return to torment her. Then there is the shattering memory of the unsolved murder of her former boss, a vice president for a major recording company. The ditch grows much deeper as she struggles to help her children through their crises, and also learns that her friend, Vangie, is having an affair with her best friend, Bethany's husband, Darryl. Keith Maris steps into her life and opens her heart to feelings and emotions that she didn't know still existed. His strong support and her faith bring resolutions that pave the way through a chaotic triangle of family issues and an illicit love affair., in Reflections of a Quiet Storm.Literature & Fiction Books
