Healing Broken Hearts, September 29, 2007

I am never disappointed when I read a book by Richard Paul Evans. I try to read all of his books.

The Sunflower is the story of a young doctor, working in a major US hospital, who inspite of all his best efforts can not save the life of a young boy. The doctor leaves his practice and travels to the jungles of South America. When the Doctor arrives at an orphanage in Peru, he finally finds his calling. The ophanage is very run down and simple, yet it fulfils the purpose of taking the young children off the streets and giving them an education. After the breakup of a six year realationship, Christine, a fussy girl who has to have everything just right and even owns a carpet rake, finds herself on a two week, working trip to Peru.

Christine and Paul,(the doctor) hit it off and begin an unlikely romance. They know that such romances will never work, and Christine needs to return to her life in America. Somehow, in two weeks, she has fallen in love with a man, a country and the orpan children.

Will Chritine leave her comfortable life in the US behind, to live with poisous creatures and dirty conditions? Will the doctor who has found himself in a jungle village, leave behind the life he has forged and the orphan children he loves, for a woman he has only known for two weeks?

You will love the tale of the Sunflower, woven into a love story, by master storyteller, Richard Paul Evans.
