Deena Adams liked Rebecca Stevenson's review of Stronger than the Storm: A Story of Secrets, Forgiveness, and the Power of Grace (The Holbrook Family Book 1): "Highly recommend Deena Adams has written a powerful debut novel. It’s somewhat heavy, and she doesn’t sugarcoat anything. But at the same time it’s uplifting. "
