Between Sundays by Karen Kingsbury
5.0
This book was amazing. I really enjoyed this book.
This is about 4 people: Megan Gunn, Cory Briggs, Aaron Hill, and Derrick Anderson. Megan is the foster parent to Cory when his mother dies 2 years ago. Aaron and Derrick play for the 49ers. It is about how Cory believes that Aaron is his father because his mother has told him this his whole life and when he gets the chance to tell him Cory writes to Aaron. Derrick is trying to help Aaron be better at the game they love but there is much more that happens because of this. It is about them all figuring out what it means to follow Jesus and live between Sundays.
I loved that this had to do with foster kids. I never really knew that much about what happens to kids who are in foster care until reading this book. It made me happy that this is out there. It was good book and I feel like I learned a lot about what can happen to foster kids and what will happen to them when they turn 18.
The characters are enjoyable. Bill Bond, Aaron Hill's agent, really annoyed me. He was really self centered and thought he knew best for Aaron but most of it was lies that Aaron finds out later. His personality really bugged me throughout this book. Aaron's attitude in the beginning was annoying and I was hopping throughout the first half of the book that he was not going to end up being Cory's father at all. Megan was amazing for taking in Cory when his mother died and treating him like he was her own son. Her strength in this book was awesome to see. Cory was too cute. I loved how he never gave up on the idea that Aaron was his father. He was willing to believe this to the end. Derrick was an amazing role model for Aaron and just for the other characters. The way he treated everyone including his family was so honoring and his faith in God was amazing.
This story was just an amazing read and I cant wait to read more from Karen Kingsbury because her books have made me happy and just love her story telling.
