The Pirate Queen by Patricia Hickman – Review

The Pirate Queen By Patricia Hickman / WaterBrook Press Wealthy socialite Saphora Warren plans to run away from home after Southern Living’s photo designers leave her palatial estate. But her husband, philanderer Dr. Bender Warren, surprises her by coming home in the middle of the day and telling her that he has a terminal illness. Bender asks her to care for him at their coastal home on the Outer Banks-her get-away destination. As her summer sanctuary becomes a landing pad for dysfunctional relatives, a sick neighbor child, and her daughter’s next-door love interest, Saphora’s escape to paradise is anything but the life she had imagined.

I recently had the pleasure, thanks to Waterbrook Multnomah for sending me a free copy to review, of reading this book. I thought the book was wonderful. It is a great story that really makes you think about the important things in your life. When tragedy strikes it makes you reevaluate your life. This novel does the very same thing for Saphora Warren. You really live life through her eyes. You feel for her, laugh with her, cry with her throughout the entire book. You find yourself think about the things that are most important to you as well. We get so caught up in our own little worlds that we sometimes forget the most important things in life and that is to love others outside of our world also.

I think this is a great read and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good novel that will make you think of life differently.

Again, I would like to thank Waterbrook/Multnomah for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
