Digging Deep

Rooted: The Plight Of Willie The Red Wiggler Worm Farmer by Kimberly Morrison is a sweet contemporary Christian tale about belonging and love.

We all long to belong and to be loved. Sometimes life does not treat us kindly but we must be true to ourselves and to God. We do not want to fight hate with hate. We need to confront hate with love.

Willie, the main character, is kind. His soul is good. There is a calm, serene atmosphere surrounding him. He looks for the goodness in life.

There are some scenes of sneaky bullying and the reader longs to right the wrongs.

We all have gifts from God. Willie’s is perseverance. He perseveres no matter how difficult life is. When God has planted a dream in your heart, we must keep going.

Life is a series of choices. We always have the choice to do the right thing.

Lives overlap within the tale. This is not a ‘coincidence’. This is a ‘God incidence.’

Rooted really is a delightful sweet tale that will warm your heart.

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
