I just wrapped up the latest Cindy Woodsmall book. The Scent of Cherry Blossoms follows two brothers broken in two different ways. One suffers from a physical paralysis as the result of an accident. The other suffers from verbal paralysis, as a stutter keeps him trapped within his own body.
I've always enjoyed Woodsmall's fiction, and this novella is a sweet simple story of choosing love against all odds. The one brother, so broken in both body and spirit, realizes that by pitying himself, he's shut himself off from himself, his brother, his parents, a possible love, and especially, His God.
What a great reminder of how we should look beyond ourselves. When we help someone else, we can help but reap the benefits.
