My overall opinion: It was so good to finally, at long last, read this book by Jen. I was amazed when I started it one afternoon how easy it was to get into and how hard it was to put down! As the author herself told me, it’s a heavier sadder story than the first book in the series, Heart’s Journey Home. But, despite that, it was well-worth the time I spent reading it! I found myself totally empathizing with the main women of the story, Elizabeth and Amy. Though they were vastly different from each other in many ways, and though I have experienced very little of what they have/had gone through, I still was deeply entwined with them through their stories. It sounds weird, but I don’t know how else to put it! I got so exasperated with some of the characters sometimes – that’s the sign of a great book. I’ll definitely be keeping this one! It has a strong, but not over-bearing, Christian message, and I guarantee it will encourage and also challenge you. It deals with some tough issues in amazing ways. It was a delight to meet up with characters I grew to know and love in HJH. I thought it was a wonderful book!

Thanks for this great review, Charity.
LOL! When character's can exasperate you and still you love the book!? Yep, that is wonderful! :)
Bless you, Charity, for your kind words. This was a tough book to write for many reasons. The next one is flowing right now. Hope that's a good sign!
Rissi, it was a really good book -- truly wonderful.
Jen, thanks for stopping by! And I'm so glad to hear that another one is coming...HOORAY! :)
