5.0

This story was beautifully written! I was invested in both timelines- 1727 and 1927. This book had so many themes: redemption, forgiveness, God’s grace, etc. The characters had to learn how to do things for an audience of One, forgetting the past and choosing to do better in the future, and that your actions have consequences. The gospel was clearly expressed and demonstrated. I loved how the father responded with grace in 1927. 2 Peter 3:9 fits this story perfectly. 

Favorite quote: 

“I must believe that all of us can be redeemed from the choices we made. None are so far gone that they can’t find their way back. Tis the beauty of grace and forgiveness. Neither would be necessary if we didn’t need them.”
