Book Review | The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold. 5 ⭐️'s. From the first page to the last, this book is a gift. I finished this about a month ago, but I've struggled to put into words how good it is. Here goes... Mrs. Clara Kip is dying of cancer & is headed to a hospice home. I know. It sounds incredibly sad - and it is - but there's so much more to this book. As Mrs. Kip is settling in to her new & final home, Aidyn Kelley is trying to work her way up at her reporter job & it is not going well. Imagine her delight when she's tasked with writing Mrs. Kip's obituary. But there's more to Mrs. Kip's story than meets the eye & the more time Aidyn spends with her, the more she realizes what an amazing life Mrs. Kip has lived. Full of history, faith, hope & friendship, this book really makes you stop & think about the things you can do each day to make your life & other's lives more meaningful. It's one that will stick with me for a long time & that I wholeheartedly recommend. Quotes I loved: "Well, I'm not one to judge a lapse in personal devotions. Life has a way of stealing our attention for seasons. The good news is, though we sometimes find ourselves out of the Word, the Word always remains in us." - Clara Kip "No effort in Jesus's name is ever wasted." - Clara Kip "Do you trust God? Then lean into that. The Lord will give you all the words you need. It's not about whether they sound pretty. It's about what he will do with them." - Clara Kip
