Ratings and reviews

I'm new to Karen Kingsbury and a friend gave this book to read. She thought that it was a wonderful story. Well, I have to agree with her, the book was terrific. Once I started reading the book I had a hard time putting it down. The author's style of writing is warm and heartfelt and I can hardly wait to read another book by this author.

Great book, couldn't put it down until I finished it. Love Karen Kingsbury, her books are more realistic than most authors I've read.

This was a fabulous book! I really don't know how Karen comes up with all of the different scenarios , but she does every time. Thank u Karen for sharing your wonderful gift with the world !
