Title of Book: The Remedy for Regret Twenty-eight year old Tess Longren, a woman at the crossroads of her life, lives with her boyfriend. He wants her to marry him. She refuses, though she isn’t sure why. Tess holds a cushy job at an upscale boutique. Everything should be good, but an underlying grief permeates her life. The death of a mother in childbirth, a baby found on a church doorstep, friendships and unforgiveness leave their mark on her. Tess can’t seem to move beyond the past. When a childhood friend calls asking for help, Tess rushes to her side, thinking perhaps that she’ll find peace as well. In The Remedy for Regret, Susan Meissner weaves Tess Longren’s story of love, grace and forgiveness and never strays from her original premise: the remedy for regret. Meissner, a former newspaper columnist and newspaper editor, lives in Minnesota with her Associate-Pastor husband. Her website can be found at www.susanlmeissner.com. Meissner says, "When people ask me what this book is about I tell them it is all about finding balance. There are things in our lives that are crooked and if we have it our power to make them straight, then I think God would want us to make right what is wrong. But sometimes we don't have that power and we need to leave to God to straighten what is crooked, and then be very content when He decides in His wisdom that He will leave things just the way they are. That is the balance of which I speak. The remedy for our regrets is to make right we what we can, and to trust completely and without disappointment what we can't." The Remedy for Regret is a book you can, without embarrassment, hand to your unchurched friends because the message is not “in your face.” Instead the reader follows the subtle and clear message to understand the limitations of this imperfect world. Like the Serenity Prayer, the book speaks about finding the courage to change what can be changed and the courage to accept what cannot. I recommend, The Remedy for Regret by Susan Meissner. |
