Lia finally had it all figured out. That was until that one
traumatic day. A day that would change everything. Nothing would ever be the
same again. No normal, rational thinking person would do that, would they? Could
they?
My Review:
I really enjoyed L.V. Robinson’s writing style, I just wish
she had put a bit (okay, fine, a lot) more detail into this book. There isn’t
really a point to this story, lesson to be learned or inspiration to harness, it’s just one woman’s
story; and it’s not even that unique a story.
Robinson opens with the climactic scene of Lia being removed
from the home she shares with her leave-in boyfriend and their blended family.
From there, we flash back to a seventeen-year-old Lia who has just moved into
an apartment a few blocks away from her family’s home. Robinson then quickly
takes us through the decisions that bring Lia to the opening scene. This entire
novelette is 62 pages long with medium font and loose line spacing. A lot of
important yet amazingly flat characters are introduced. Even Lia the main
character is a mere skeleton of a character. All the reader really knows about
her is that she believes in God. The title, He Answered, is a reference to God
answering Lia’s prayers.
