I read 118 pages. I wanted to learn more about this place but I couldn’t get past the cuss words and the alluding to inappropriate sexual content.

This was a heartfelt and hopeful book. I loved how Nicholas set boundaries in his relationship with Rachel. Nicholas was a sweetheart who stood by Rachel through hard times. This book is encouraging! It reminded me of the power of prayer and community. This book also encouraged me to visit those who are sick and homebound to pray and to encourage them. 

“You go to go through something to have a testimony about God’s goodness. 

“The ministers who petition God on behalf of the sick folks and homebound count it a privilege to be faithful to strengthen someone with hope.”

This book ended on a cliffhanger. I did not see that ending coming! I’m not ready to read book 3 because then the series will be over! I enjoyed the characters, the plot, etc. Lindsay A. Franklin is a great storyteller and writer.
