Blogger L.G. Jenkins reviews ‘When I Lost Me’
Titled 'A Tale of Heartbreak and Hope', L.G. Jenkins has written a blog post sharing her honest take on the new Christian novel 'When I Lost me' by Claire Lagerwall
Lydia Jenkins is both a blogger and an author. Writing for her Blog, L.G Jenkins Books, she begins by introducing ‘When I Lost Me‘.
“…a beautifully crafted novel. It follows the lives of two women, cousins, Catherine and Rebecca, both facing their own heartbreaks but who are brought together by hope and faith.”
She speaks into some of the themes found in the book.
“With Catherine’s painful experience of infertility, you found yourself grieving with her, but also questioning her erratic decisions which only added to her realism. I’d recommend this book to anyone seeking a heartwarming story that has a lot to say about how faith works with suffering.”
Lydia praises Lagerwall’s ability to interweave societal and political issues with the lives of her characters, as well as the way she successfully demonstrates how each character would respond in the face of a crisis.

Lagerwall’s writing is something to be upheld; thought-provoking, emotive, and real, she impressively keeps the reader engaged through three-dimensional characters and interesting plotlines.
