Book Review of The Pirate Queen

Treasure is found in the most unlikely places.

The envy of all her friends, wife and mother Saphora Warren is the model of southern gentility and accomplishment. She lives in a beautiful Lake Norman home, and has raised three capable adult children. Her husband is a successful plastic surgeon--and a philanderer. It is for that reason that, after hosting a garden party for Southern Living magazine, Saphora packs her bags to escape the trappings of the picturesque-but-vacant life.

Saphora’s departure is interrupted by her husband Bender’s early arrival home, and his words that change her life forever: I’m dying.

Against her desires, Saphora agrees to take care of Bender as he fights his illness. They relocate, at his insistance, to their coastal home in Oriental—the same house she had chosen for her private getaway. When her idyllic retreat is overrun by her grown children, grandchildren, townspeople, relatives, and a precocious neighbor child, Saphora’s escape to paradise is anything but the life she had imagined. As she gropes for evidence of God's presence amid the turmoil, can she discover that the richest treasures come in surprising packages?

My Opinion

The Pirate Queen is a book that is very relevant to most married women! I found myself understanding Sephora's situation and experiences many times throughout the book and could relate to a lot of the struggles Saphora was going through as a wife and mother!

This book kept my attention throughout the whole book and it was a great story! It gave a great reminder that we shouldn't take our lives into our own hands, but trust in God to help us and have a plan for us, even through the worst times!

I recommend The Pirate Queen  for all Christian women! It is very relatable for women and also gives great reminders of God's promises to watch over us and have our best interests in mind at all times!
