Ratings and reviews

The way Elizabeth had her faith in God. The way she never gab up on John Brady, made me realize we all need that kind of faith and patience. I love the way the book is written. It truly does speak to the heart. The book was written in a way that captures the readers attention and you just can't stop reading it. I read this book until 5 in the morning!! i just could't put the book down... it was that good.

I really like this book. Elizabeth O'Connor is sweet and you can't help but want to see her happy with John Brady. But John is hiding something terrible from his past and Just can't seem to let it go. He feels unworthy of true happiness. Can He find his way through the pain and anguish to find Gods perfect peace and true love with Elizabeth? This is a very wonderful story and I recommend it to everyone!!!

Aside from A Hope Undaunted, this was my favorite of Julie Lessman's!!! Lizzie and Brady's rocky road to love was a story that I will forever adore. Lizzie is one of my most favorite characters and I thinkt that's because of her faith in true love. Yes, she's quite the bookworm--like me ;)--and I know that life doesn't always turn out like the love stories, but that's a lesson that's learned over time and that's the lesson that Lizzie learns. She discovers that no love story is perfect, that no man, including John Brady, is perfect, but that with God on her side she can have faith, forgive and love.
