Book Description

May 5, 2009
A multi-tasking mama, Summer Finley has found ways to handle whatever life throws at her with grace and a grin. Until now, that is. An “abnormal” medical test result sends Summer into an emotional tailspin and prompts her to fulfill a life-long dream of “meeting” her best friend and pen pal since fourth grade, Noelle Van Zandt, face-to-face.

Their blissful week together in the Netherlands finds Summer and Noelle floating down a canal in Amsterdam, visiting Corrie Ten Boom’s Hiding Place, sipping decadent Dutch cocoa in Delft, and bobbing merrily along through a sea of brilliant, spring-fresh tulips. Each day takes them further from midlife anxiety and closer to trusting God in deeper ways.

When Summer finally confides in Noelle about the abnormal test results, Summer’s honesty prompts Noelle to share a long-held heartache. The two friends find they both needed to be together more than either of them realized. Could it be this adventure was tucked away in God’s imagination long before Summer bought her ticket to fly to the land of merry tulips and kalomping wooden shoes?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Land Flowing with Windmills and Tulips, June 7, 2009
This review is from: Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes (Sisterchicks Series #8) (Paperback)

I've been to the Netherlands once in my life. Ok, it was really the Amsterdam airport on a layover flight. Still though, I've been somewhere many have dreamed of going. And I would love to go there again. With this book, I was able to leave my surroundings and go to a land full of tulips, windmills and wooden shoes. While Amsterdam has gotten a rep for "other interests", Robin Gunn takes the reader to enjoy the rest of the country and learning about the culture. I really enjoyed seeing the sights and riding in the canals. It made me feel as if I was really there. Noelle and Summer have a wonderful friendship that's lasted throughout the years. It was also really interesting to see the underground work Noelle does to help protect women in the country. Gunn's writing is always a pleasure to read as she blends the characters thoughts and storyline easily and the travelogue flows smoothly. Summer's situation about wanting to avoid the cancer issue and just enjoy life is very understandable. It made things more realistic than her immediately accepting it and just going along with everything.

While I enjoyed this book tremendously, to be honest this probably ranks among one of my least favorite Sisterchicks books. I think the biggest problem for me was that the European Noelle made Summer seem like a stereotypical American. I know that Europeans take life differently from Americans and obviously have different customs and everything. Noelle just came across as being very cool and distant in comparison to Summer who was lively and outgoing. It just made me feel that Noelle didn't seem to realize how Summer's personality was. This could also be due to the fact that this was the first time they actually met face to face. I also found it very strange that not once did these friends ever think about calling each other after all those years of writing to each other. I could understand if it was a different time period or if they hadn't known each other that well but after forty years? It just seemed a bit unrealistic to me.

Other than this I really did enjoy the book. The Sisterchicks books are great armchair readers as they have taken me to places all over the world that I have only dreamed of going. I really love these books that show women being friends throughout the years and getting to enjoy traveling as well. I've read that this is the last Sisterchicks book but I'm hoping Robin can squeeze out as least one more. This book is great summer reading especially if you can't get away for a real vacation. It's the next best thing to hopping on a plane yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, August 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes (Sisterchicks Series #8) (Paperback)
I have enjoyed all the sisterchicks books, but I hadn't read any for a few years and got this one. It was excellent. There were actually a few concepts in the book that really had an impact on me. Even though it was fiction, it was based on a real life experience, which I thought was interesting. I like the writing style of this author and I wish she'd come out with more sisterchick books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely a must read!, March 3, 2010
This review is from: Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes (Sisterchicks Series #8) (Paperback)
Sisterchicks In Wooden Shoes is probably one of my all time favorite books! Of course, I absolutely (and I do mean absolutely!) love all of the Sisterchick books. The escapades and adventures of the friends or sisters makes one want to grab a suitcase and your sisterchick and have an adventure of your own. These books are easy, light reading but there are many truths throughout the stories. I guess this book would be a favorite because the "girls" go on a trip to Holland. Not only are there tulips and wooden shoes but the story ties into Corrie ten Boom and her family. I'm not a crier my nature but there is a chapter in this story that really touched my heart and tears came to my eyes...I had one of those "eye opening" moments where the Lord helped me to "see" beyond the story. If you want to go on a trip but don't have the time or finances right now then go to Amazon.com and get this book..it's actually better than a trip---no packing or passport.
