This book was so good. But of course it is---because it is Karen Kingsbury. I enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to continue with this series.

This book is the first in a series, which turns into three different series, on the same family. It is Christian fiction and there are definitely parts of it that focus so much on the Christian aspect that the plot line drags a bit, but I found it to be refreshingly un-preachy for the most part. I liked the characters and am anxious to see what happens to them next, so I'll be looking forward to reading the next one!

This was just disappointing overall. I loved these books when I was in 8th-9th grade, but they were just not good this time around.
Things I liked: Kari and her determination to love her husband and save her marriage, despite how much he's done to hurt her. Ryan Taylor, because duh.
Things I didn't: most everything else. How fake and one dimensional the characters felt, how inauthentic the faith aspect felt, how you could predict almost everything that would happen after the first ten pages of the book, etc. I would love to write Christian fiction, and I also love to read Christian fiction. This, however, was NOT it.
