Book Review: Soul on Fire
By Elizabeth Suggs
Soul on Fire by Shannon Lane is an uplifting story about friendship, love, and self-discovery.
Our protagonist, Kenna, deals with panic attacks, self-doubt, and depression. The recurring theme within this story is her willingness to accept herself, and to be, not just okay, but to be happy with her life. Yet, Kenna feels the burden of loss and rejection, which makes her believe she is incapable of change.
What I really loved about this book is what it can do for those who suffer from similar struggles; there are many lessons and poetic thoughts to take away from this story that could leave you feeling happier and better because of it.
What I find the most admirable is that even amidst Kenna’s difficulties, she runs a successful business and remains close with her friends. And while sometimes the repetition of emotions felt tedious, it could resonate with some readers who can relate to her situation. Sometimes we need to be told something over and over to be reminded that we’re okay.
My favorite quote:
Laugh lines are nonexistent, and his icy eyes pierce into me like shards of rejection into my soul.
