The Blood Done Signed My Name Book Review


Are the sins of the father and mother visited upon their sons and daughters? 

Undoubtedly damaged, Honey Lamb, like many, is a descendant of an unfortunate legacy of molestation, addiction, murder and bad decisions. For as long as she could remember, she believed the unhappiness she experienced was somehow bequeathed to her. The blood that surged through her veins seemed to be tainted and she often wondered about the DNA she possessed. Experiencing more than her share of misery at the hands of her mother, an alcoholic; the source of all her woes, Honey believed she’d overcome her seemingly checkered path all by herself when she met and married, Mason; a man she loves beyond her own understanding. Unfortunately, unsettling memories emerge to crack the veneer of her seemingly happy existence. Feeling unable to escape what she believed to be her destiny, Honey makes a decision that may have ruined her life. Not realizing God places people in our lives for His purpose, she reluctantly embarks upon a journey that will open her heart to a divine inheritance. Will she accept what God has already given to her or will she shun the invitation of salvation and allow her familial carnal legacy to continue to the next generation? Will she come to understand that Jesus’ blood redeemed us from a self-defeating existence because He became the sinful inheritance for us while at the same time eradicating it forever, giving us a spiritual blood transfusion that would change us all? 
              

My Review

I received a free copy of this novel for my honest review.  This was a touching story of finding God even when you feel undeserving,   overcoming your past, and facing your demons.  Honey faced a horrible childhood and eventually ran away from home.  Now 17 years later, accompanying her neighbor, Ms. Sadie, she’s returning home to assist her in finding her missing niece and so that Honey can get a break from the memories of her husband and the incident that caused him to leave her.  Little does she know she will learn quite a bit about herself and the God she has been trying to avoid.  Her story was so realistic; I felt a strong connection to the main characters.  I loved how God was described, so loving and ready to forgive if you just ask and give him all your troubles.  This is definitely an excellent book, one that will stay on my mind for a very long time.
