The button box holds a secret. Not a trap-door kind of secret, but one
of God's love through everything. The story is simple, but the words
resonate with poignancy, picturesque stories told for each button.
There are some sad stories, some funny stories, but in the end they
point to God's grace. I appreciated the love and prayers between
family, and the humble way of confronting wrong. There were a couple of
somewhat embarrassing/intimate things, but not detailed. It wraps up a
little too quickly, perhaps, at least for those of us who haven't read
the companion book about granddaughter, Emily. There is nothing exactly
objectionable, unless you count the time Emily goes into a
dance-hall/bar and gets drunk--but the action is not condoned. Overall a
solid, well-written tale, but it seems a bit unfinished.
I received a free kindle copy of this story from Cross Focused Reviews in exchange for my honest review.
