The third and last book in the 9/11 series. I don't know why, but this one took me a really long time to get through. The story was really good towards the end and it made me cry. I'm anxious to get back to reading more books because I've been reading this one since the end of October.

This was so so beautiful. I haven’t cried so hard reading a book in a very long time. The book captures so many important truths, like we can’t get rid of evil around us, and there will always be painful circumstances in life. It also so perfectly captures the relationship between service dogs and their partners. This was about a police dog. I am blind and have a guide dog, but Karen Kingsberry captures the relationship so perfectly it hurts. Amazing!

In the third and final book of Kingsbury's 9/11 series, we meet Alex Brady. Clay and Jamie Michaels have befriended this K9 deputy. Alex's father was a firefighter who perished when the Twin Towers fell. A large part of Alex died that day as well. And he made a vow to take out the bad guys in the world so no other child or family would have to experience what his did in the tragedy.\n\nWhen Alex moved to LA after 9/11, he put up a wall separating his past from his future. That included pushing away his high school sweetheart, Holly. Holly originally followed him to LA, where he rejected her again. She remains in California, moving forward with her life. But their paths are bound to cross again.\n\nI really liked seeing how Clay and Jaime, Joe and Wanda, Eric and his wife were all doing a few years later. And the introduction of Alex's character and his way back to faith was good and well written.\n\nThere were some gaps in the story line that left me confused and trying to reread...the ending seemed rushed with the fire.

This wasn't the best of Karen Kingsbury. I feel like it was way too long, for the story. I think I need to take a break from the formulaic writing style of Karen Kingsbury.
