Paper Dolls
About
In a small town where faith and friendship intertwine, the lives of five women are forever changed by the trials they face. Kite Tanner, a grieving widow, struggles to find her footing after the sudden loss of her beloved husband. Priscilla Martin, the minister's daughter, pursues money and men with reckless abandon, while Lydia Dooley, a prayer-warrior, faces the dual challenges of a brain tumor and a daughter haunted by the sins of her mother's past.
Eve Stanton, a talented Christian singer and songwriter, is brought to her knees when the truth about her marriage is revealed. And Mary Rabin, kidnapped from her front yard at the age of eight, bravely returns forty years later to reunite with the family and friends she'd fought for decades to find her way back to.
As these women navigate the complexities of love, loss, and redemption, the bonds of family and friendship are tested to their limits. Will their faith in God and each other stand the test of time, or will it crumple like paper in the face of adversity?
Paper Dolls is a poignant and powerful exploration of the human spirit, the enduring strength of faith, and the unbreakable ties that bind us together.
Praise for this book
Finding a woman who couldn't relate to any of the themes in Kara R Hunt's expertly crafted novel, Paper Dolls, would be difficult. Wife, mother, daughter, sibling, friend, females struggling with identity, hope, hopelessness, dreams, and dreaded decisions. The intricate plot is a layer-upon-layer of deep emotional entwinement paired with strong Christian values
Hunt's writing is superb. These characters portray the author's attention to emotion, motivation, repressing and expressing old trauma, broken dreams, and the deepest, most horrifying fears, making them anything but paper cutouts of people. They are flesh and blood come to life in a memorable, extremely gifted, beautifully crafted story.
