ould you desire to peer inside the mind and thoughts of a godly woman? Interested in reading a fictional story of how godly women react to the various events of their lives?
The Salt Garden by Cindy Martinusen is adventure into the minds of three women from the small town of Harper?s Bay and the providential events centering around the discovery of the journal of a shipwreck survivor.
Presented in 1st person narrative, reading this book is like sitting along with these women and watching their lives unfold before you. Memories of the past, thoughts of the present, and the ever changing plans for the future are all found in this novel.
There is Sophia?
The reclusive novelist and prayer warrior with the adventurous thoughts that fill notebook after notebook of fictional stories that may never be published. Reading of her thoughts and recounting the memories of her life reminding me of the character Wendy in the novel Peter Pan. Sophia is defined in this novel with this comment ?Contemplation has been my companion.?
There is Jospehine?
The romantic, enduring, steadfast wife of the shipbuilder. A shipwreck survivor, it is Josephine?s journal Sophia discovers during a ocean side walk. Her papers, donated after her death to the local historical society, spark media interest to seek more answers to what really happened the night the ?Josephine? sank. Reading from her journal thoughts sparks devotion, strength and empathy. Josephine is defined in this novel with this comment ?I would have followed him anywhere?.
There is Claire?
The young news reporter that suffers a comical string of providential events that prevent her from leaving the small town and pursuing her politically correct ambitions and goals. Accepting of these events and starting over after coming home, Claire finds that she is not as reluctant to stay as she once was. Her faith develops in this story as she begins again at home, finding a reunited family, a genuine friend and a love interest through it all. Claire is defined in this novel with the comment ?I didn?t want to be here?.
I truly enjoyed Cindy Martinusen?s writing style. Beautiful landscape descriptions, authentic dialogue, and true struggles make this a novel well worth the time spent.

Past, Present and Future
This story is about three unrelated woman whose lives intersect and impact one another. One is Josephine, a woman long dead, whose husband and many others were lost at sea off Orion Point. Her journals are used to help discover why the ship went down.
The second is Sophia, an aging recluse on Orion Point, a former author who is coping with a painful past.
The third is Claire, a former resident of Orion Point, who left to become a journalist in San Fransisco, but who finds herself back in Orion Point, working for the local weekly paper.
While there is some action in the story, it's mostly character driven. The writing is beautifully done, making you pause once in a while to re-read a particularly beautiful sentence. It is told in the first-person present tense, by all three women; Josephine's being in diary form.
