Ratings and reviews

While I enjoyed the Pro-life message, it came at the expense of the abortion of two babies (very sad face). While one lady had a very ho-hum attitude about it, the other was very distraught about her decision which ultimately lead her to the Lord and a relationship with him (happy face). This story line has a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns and emotions. I did like the overall redemption message, because the Lord loves us no matter what and He will forgive us if we ask.

I highly recommend reading this book and all others this lovely author has written or writes . I absolutely loved everything about it ! I encourage you to make sure you have plenty of time to start and finish, you will not be able to put it down.

This story had me in tears. Its a true example of how all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord.
