Book Review: Between Heaven and Earth (Power of the Matchmaker) by Michele Paige Holmes
Description from Amazon:
From the Power of the Matchmaker series: BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
Cassandra Webb’s every waking minute is devoted to being a great mother and wife. She takes five-year-old Noah to the library each week, volunteers in his kindergarten class, and even coaches his soccer team. She makes sure her husband’s uniforms are always laundered—even though he hasn’t worn them the last six years—always has his game day snacks on hand, and meets him for date night every Friday—which consists of one sided conversations at his bedside and watching his favorite take out remain untouched.
Pearl, a mysterious visitor at the care center, suggests that it is only Cassie’s love still tying Devon to Earth when he has been ready to move onto Heaven for quite some time. If Cassie will but open her eyes and heart, she will discover the path she should travel, one that will bring relief to Devon and much joy to her own life. But Cassie vowed never to give up on him. She never has and she can’t now, even after meeting hapless, single soccer-dad Matt.

My Review: by Robyn "The Mom" Savage
Michele Paige Holmes is on my list of favorite authors and
she shines in this Power of the Matchmaker book. “Between Heaven and Earth” is
a touching romance between two people who need each other, but can’t or shouldn’t
be romanctically involved. This was a very real book. I loved how both of them
worked so hard to do the right thing. I especially loved the kids! All the characters
in this book are real, flawed and perfect all at the same time! Pearl was priceless
in this book. She imparted her wisdom flawlessly. She was a sweet addition to
the story.
While this book deals with death and letting go, it also has
a great message about moving on and the fact that you can love more than one
person in a lifetime. Ms. Holmes does a wonderful job of portraying both loves
in Cassie’s life. I found myself both cheering and crying throughout the book,
sometimes at the same time! The messages in this book are timeless and I loved
how each of the families interacted with each other and the in-laws and
out-laws! I especially love, Matt’s mother! She was the best! This is one for
the ages. You will laugh, cry, cheer, swoon and everything in-between! I truly enjoyed
the relationships between Matt and Cassie and their boys. I knew I loved to
read Michele Paige Holmes!
Content:
Sex: none. Some kissing. No inappropriate scenes. Great message about being faithful to marriage vows.
Violence: None
Be sure to read all the Power of the Matchmaker books!
