This book is gorgeous. Four authors, four novellas, multiple generations of one family brought together through the love of Jesus, their family devotion, wars, and hope. I loved this book.
Will I enjoyed the thread that ran throughout, connecting the four stories together, my favourite story was definitely The Nuremberg Angel. With just the right amount of humor, pathos and romance, and set during one of my favourite periods in American history, the characters were endearing and proved that first impressions and prejudices are often delightfully proven wrong in the best way possible.
