My Thoughts:
This book was a good read. Admittedly it was not my favorite. The book hits some tough issues, while very well written and very realistic the emotions are still very sad. This is in no way a happy go lucky read but it is real life and the three books in this trilogy showcase some great characters that really grow through the story. I enjoyed watching Hannah's independence and self worth grow. These three stories would not make good read alone books, in my opinion, they are to intertwined and I feel they would have been confusing if not read together, also the end of the first and second story both kind of leave you hanging their is no good resolution to the stories till the third book. Also I must say that I did not fall as in love with the characters in this book as I have some of Cindy WoodSmall's other book- such as The Christmas Singing and The Harvest of Grace. While they are great characters and I enjoyed seeing them grow and change through out the three stories I did not feel that close bond, that you feel with characters when you step into their world in a novel.
Overall I give this Book 3 out of 5 Stars
