“Touched by Fate” by Preslaysa Williams

“Touched by Fate” by Preslaysa Williams

This story was considerably short (about 50 pages) even for a novella. We were introduced to Analyn, her culture, and her family-especially her grandmothers. I did not like the language in the book and it was a definite turn off to future books by this author. (swear words and sexual innuendos/references)

Analyn struggles with doubts, wedding jitters and trying to control every detail as she prepares for her second wedding.

This short story made me think about my own struggles with controlling things, and learning to let things go and to trust in God instead.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About The Book:
Analyn Richards likes life the way she likes her wedding planning business—orderly and predictable. All doubts aside, getting engaged to the successful man she’s been dating is the natural next step, right?

But on her wedding day uncertainty makes an unscheduled appearance. She finds herself deciding whether to go along with her wedding as planned or whether to make another choice.

Will this perfectionist find the courage to take a chance on the unpredictable?
