Chasing Rainbows

Chasing Rainbows
By Kathleen Long

Every now and then a book comes along that just captures your heart.  The book, Chasing Rainbows by Kathleen Long is one of those books.  I absolutely loved this book.  It was not so much about the suspense of what may or may not happen, but of the connection I felt with the characters.  In fact, I think it only took me about a day to read this book on my Kindle.

Seeing early on in the book that the main character Bernie had experienced some major losses in her life, I could really relate.  There were three big ones that hit her in the course of a few years.  Yes, it is a fictional book, but when we get hit with that much loss in our lives, it is hard for anyone to keep going.

Throughout this book, Chasing Rainbows, the main character showed us her good side, bad side and all the difficulties she endured as she navigated through these moments of loss, grief, and heartache.  The author managed to keep the book upbeat, and at times I found myself laughing at some of the dialogue.  It was comical moments that just helped make the character more alive.


In our lives, we often face difficult moments and sometimes the only way through them is one step at a time.  Sometimes we have to chase the rainbows that only show up after the storm has passed.  It doesn't make it easy in life, but when we find the rainbows, we have found the beauty of our lives. No matter what, if we just take one step at a time, we will get through the difficult moments.

It is also a book about closure.  Sometimes when we go through grief and loss, it is difficult to find closure and move beyond these moments.  In our despair, we want to hold on to all that we once had, but as time goes, we find that in order to find our life, we need to let go.  It can be quite painful, but without closure, we are just holding on to the pain.

This is an excellent book full of inspiration and hope.  I think you will enjoy reading it and it was a very quick read.  If you are experiencing difficult moments in life, I think  you will find this to be a pick-me-up type of book.  I hope it will help you when you are chasing rainbows.
