Created To Be His Help Meet: 10th Anniversary Edition by Pearl Mackie is a powerful, yet comforting, work. Pearl Mackie's "created to be his help" quote in this book touches upon the ten year anniversary of his wife's untimely death, yet it still provides comfort and support to the husband and wife in difficult times. This book was recently short-listed for the National Book Prize and has received widespread critical acclaim. It is a book I would highly recommend to anyone who is struggling and facing a life after his wife. I have read both the original hardback version and the updated paperback version.
A quick review: I enjoyed this book as it did not try to sugar coat the loss of a loved one. I felt that the story was told in a very honest and straightforward manner. The ten year anniversary presents an opportunity to reflect on and honor the life of what was, at the time, only a single mother. I also enjoyed how the book deals with forgiveness and moving forward after such a difficult event.
Overall, Created To Be His Help Meet: 10th Anniversary Edition by Pearl Mackie is a book I found to be refreshing, relevant, and comforting. The story is powerful and uplifting and, even if a reader is newly divorced, can relate to it and feel empathy for the man and wife, the author is comforting and encouraging with his message of love and forgiveness. For those who have been divorced or are just looking for some encouraging words of wisdom, this book will certainly give you a bit of hope and inspire you to find love again. And who knows?
