WORLD Magazine Review of Watch Over Me

From WORLD Magazine – reviewed by Susan Olasky:

Watch Over Me | Christa Parrish
This novel has lots of story threads—an abandoned baby, an eating disorder, a failing marriage, an unloved teen. Christa Parrish redeems those gritty plot elements with a story about grace for troubled people with messy lives. She has drawn believable Christian characters who face marital discord and personal demons—and try to cope with them on their own strength. The facade they’ve built keeps others from knowing how deep is their despair—and it takes an infant to begin to turn them outward. Throughout the novel the main characters run from God, but Parrish shows (not tells) how God pursues them, even through terrible heartache. She writes with sensitivity and grace.
