Olivia Douglass is undecided about becoming a priest even after she has completed seminary. She is adopted and for most of her life, she has had a curse over her that she has held secret.

I have never been a religious person and have no beliefs. It just goes to show that one doesn't have to be religious to enjoy 'Blessings and Curses'. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the fact that it revolved around the main character (Olivia) being undecided about becoming a priest, didn't matter. There was enough for me to put religion to one side, as i wanted to find out the mystery of Olivia's adoption, even though it was somewhat predictable. I felt for Olivia when she discovered her past and i did have a tear or two towards the end, when she was finally able to put the past behind her and move forward.

It is the first time that i have read any books by this author and hope to read more. Highly recommended.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review, which was freely given.

Overall I enjoyed this book, with it's topics of forgiveness and redemption. It did deal with some tough issues. And there was a bit of swearing in one scene near the beginning that was uncomfortable to read.

The character's faults and emotional pain were very well crafted and drew you into the story. It is worth reading.
