wintermote 's review for:

The Baxters by Karen Kingsbury
4.0
emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really wanted to love this book—the first I’ve read in the Baxters series.  The plot was fine but it felt preachy and extremely judgmental and had poor theology.
