Although I am a big fan of Francine Rivers in general and really enjoyed the first book in this two-book series, I didn’t find this one quite as enjoyable. I felt that it went on and on at points. It did hold my attention enough to finish it, mainly because I wanted to see if and how the generational issues would be resolved.

Rivers does it again, a familial exposé with lots of drama. It was a great read, was a little long though at 59 chapters. Rivers ability to portray Christian lives while not seeming to preach to the reader is amazing. The mother daughter relationships portrayed in part one and two of this saga was emotional and reflectional. Confronting, captivating and colorfully written!
adventurous challenging emotional hopeful fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful and well written...fascinating tale about family, friends, hope, and overcoming you difficult past and circumstances while looking ahead, hopeful for the future.

AGE RANGE RECOMMENDATION: 15+
Mature concepts and sex are present. For mature teens only but perfect for young adults!

It got a little predictive and repetitive and almost a bit unbelievable that mothers and daughters would keep doing the same thing. Although I certainly know the sins of the father‘s are passed down from generation to generation!
Overall, I really enjoyed it!

Absolutely amazing!

I'll be honest and say there were times I wanted to throw this book across the room. Sometimes the characters made me very frustrated. However, it all came together in the end.

I absolutely love this follow-up to Her Mother's Hope. Rivers is such a gifted storyteller. The generations of women are fascinating. No disappointments here!

This book was not as good as the previous one but it still kept my interest. The characters were very endearing but I found the conflict to frustrating because it wadi easy to solve...I kept finding myself getting frustrated that lack of communication was the central source of conflict!
