Waiting for Daybreak (Tomorrow's Promise Collection Book #2)

by Kathryn Cushman

Overview

Paige Woodward is a woman without choices. Her destitute mother's only hope for a cure isn't covered by insurance. When a dream opportunity arises at a brand-new pharmacy, Paige is willing to keep quiet about her past to make sure she lands the job.

For Clarissa Richardson, the dream of running her own pharmacy comes to a screeching halt when her grandfather hires a too-perfect new girl who seems to be hiding something. How far will they go to protect their dreams for tomorrow?

What will happen when one woman's last hope means ruining another woman's greatest dream?

Editorial Reviews

Cushman's characters are layered, complex and interesting. Main characters Paige, Clarissa and Dawn, the pharmacy tech, all come to life with weaknesses and redeeming qualities.... Paige is outspoken about her Christian faith, which is constantly being tested. Cushman handles the faith angle without apology, albeit with a light touch through elderly Ora Vaerge, who regularly challenges Paige to squeeze relevant application from Bible verses that pop into her head. The importance of honesty and communication are themes that come through as well. And though not overt, the book does make subtle observations about the pharmaceutical industry and malpractice suits within the medical system.
All in all, Waiting for Daybreak is another sticky Cushman book - one that once you start, you won't want to put down until you're done.

Deep, complex characters are fast becoming Cushman's trademark. Paige and Clarissa drew emotional responses from me like few books do. Even the secondary characters are fascinating. Combine those with a riveting storyline and you have a novel you'll not put down until you turn the last page. Novel Reviews and I give it our highest recommendation: a 5-star read!

I love Kathryn Cushman's writing style; her books have a smooth flow that makes for quick reading, but she tackles tough themes.... Cushman does a great job of creating characters who are Christian without pushing an agenda.... Waiting for Daybreak is a good story. I'm looking forward to seeing what this author comes up with in the future.

A Christian Worldview of Fiction

I think the thing that stands out for me in Waiting for Daybreak ... is how well-drawn the characters are. As I was writing the short summary of the book, I immediately felt the anxiety I identified as Paige's because Cushman made the character come alive. Her actions and reactions were believable.... Truly, Cushman has a knack for drawing characters that clash with one another but which the reader understands equally.... Reading Waiting for Daybreak was entertaining and memorable. I highly recommend this story to readers. It is a must read for those who enjoy women's fiction, especially Christian women's fiction.
