Title: The Carousel Painter
Author: Judith Miller

In this season of my life, I rarely read fictional stories. With all of my business and marketing endeavors, I tend to stick to reading materials that further my education, as my once-cherished novels collect dust on a shelf. However, when I saw the opportunity to review The Carousel Painter, my interest was stirred by simply the title alone. I thought a break from my normal studies would be refreshing and so I took the plunge.
The Carousel Painter proved to be a beautiful story that captured me from the very beginning. The main character, Carrington Brouwer, is a young women who struggles with opposition everywhere she goes, or so it seems to her. She doesn’t understand why God would allow her to be wrongly accused of such horrible things on so many occasions! She is just a simple girl trying to do her best in life and pursue what she loves, and yet her efforts would go unappreciated and often times misinterpreted. What really stood out to me about “Carrie” was her enduring faith and longing to learn more about God even in the heat of her trials. If I were to put myself in the shoes of this fictional woman, I know that my own reaction to much of what she encountered would not have been so proper!
I was impressed by the author’s ability to portray the character and found myself unable to put the book down, which is unusual for me. I rarely find a book so good that I literally don’t want to turn my lamp off and go to bed. Carrie is a lovely character that will certainly capture any reader’s heart with her sweet spirit and willingness to do what is right.
