Book Review: Rosebud Blooming by Nancy Maggio

Rosebud Blooming by Nancy Maggio portrays the trials faced by the author and how she was able to how she was able to pull through with God’s help. She begins each chapter with a poem that introduces the problem that she faced. The stories of these difficult times are not chronological but she ties them together to show how certain choices that she and people in her life made affected the various situations.

We all face difficulties but not all of us experience some of the traumatic things that Nancy tells us about in this detailed book about her life. This book is one you can read in an afternoon so prepare a bubble bath, light some candles, make a cup of tea and relax as you read about a simple lady sharing how God helped her make it through some dark days.  She doesn’t sugar coat it.  She bares it all…literally at one point! No matter what you have been through in your life, Nancy’s poems, stories and analogy of a rosebud opening up to full bloom will encourage you to press on.

Reading Together

I just wanted to share what it looks like during our read aloud time.  I like for them to each have their own copy as we read so they can follow along so usually one of them has the Nook, one has a book and one uses the computer or another copy of the book.
