I devoured this book! I got home to find it waiting for me on my doorstep and began to read it and continued nonstop! If you're a Katie Ganshert fan I have to tell you this is her best book ever and I've loved all of them. If you're never read one of Katie's books before you will be more than pleasantly surprised by her wit and wisdom.
Ms. Ganshert takes some very tough topics and deals with them beautifully and sensitively in this story. You'll find characters dealing with infertility, marital discord, teenage angst, broken homes, alcoholic parents, racial discrimination, bi-racial marriages and more. And while it may seem that is is multitude of issues to deal with in one book Ms Ganshert weaves it all together in a smooth and yet fascinating fashion.
The reader hears the voice of teen Gracie with equal authenticity as her young adult half sister Carmin. Ms. Ganshert has a definite gift for first person story telling. In the words and thoughts of each character we are led into examining ideas of part-time Christians versus living a life for Christ in every aspect of our lives. And as the characters question where is God in their pain and how does God fit into romance and family and fun the reader sees God as One who could be the friend you've longed for.
A gritty book that when you're done reading it your own heart will have been touched and changed by God' grace.
I received this book free from the publisher for my honest review and I was not required to write a positive review.
