Surprised By Oxford: A memoir by Carolyn Weber

Carolyn "Caro" Weber's memoir is truly an inspiring read. I'm not a big memoir reader, but boy am I glad I decided to read this book. I can easily relate to the author and her journey for faith. Caro arrives in Oxford on a scholarship, but leaves with much more than her educational experiences. While in Oxford she begins pondering God and faith and befriends a great man named TDH (aka Tall Dark & Handsome) who is a devout Christian and true gentleman. Caro and TDH have several intense conversations about faith and what being a Christian is all about. Caro begins her search for Christ and along the way deals with family and friends who don't quite understand her search and how important it is to her. This includes her mom, sister and fiance. The author does an excellent job describing Oxford and her educational experiences there. I thoroughly enjoyed the anecdotes of literature throughout the book and am glad that Caro shared her story with us. Easily one of the best memoirs I've ever read. This book was a quick read for me due to the fact that I had a hard time putting it down. I will definitely be recommending this book to my family and friends.
