Life Lessons God's Way or Your Way.
This is my first time reading this book by this author. The storyline is where three sisters are going through difficult situations. One is married with four kids Randi she struggles with low self esteem and weight and her husband sees nothing wrong,
Another sister Stacy has everything house, a business and a abusive controlling husband and Sasha that has a daughter and thinks the world revolves around her and in and out of relationships, searching for that man who will take care of her and her daughter Tia.
After several mishaps and a tragedy it has come to a point where the sisters choose God or choose the way of the enemy.
This book was a very good read and I felt what the author wanted to take away from this storyline. I definitely will read other books by this author.

This book was very inspirational. Sad ending but it reminds you that he vulnerable can lead to a bad situation and to pray and ask God for guidance in your life.

With the high ratings I was hoping I would like this book, but I didn’t. Just wasn’t for me. My review is clearly in the minority here, but that’s ok.
In the novel we’re introduced to Sasha, Stacey, and Randi, sisters each with struggles that follow them throughout the story. Sasha is desperate to become married and they way in which she pursues this dream results in undesirable circumstances. Stacey is in an abusive and controlling marriage. Randi struggles with low self esteem and finds herself undesirable due to her weight. Through their trials and tribulations, their faith in God is either restored or renewed.
Each struggle is an important topic to explore, but I did not feel it was done well. It’s a short read, so many things were rushed or not fully resolved. Also, the way things were presented didn’t always sit right with me. I felt so much burden and onus was placed on women without exploring and discussing some the many factors that contribute to people’s personality and behaviors.
It would have also been nice if there was more editing done before publishing.

The book is a true lifestyle for some women, although I have never had to be in the situations, I do know someone who has been in Sasha's situation.

Good message
First time reading this author's writing. I understand the message for the three sisters however, the story needs to be arranged.
I'm at a loss to say what is needed because I'm not a writer. I can just say that I have read writing that clearly lays out the story.

Excellent
I liked the fact that all three ladies had a story of their own. Ranch didn't judge her sisters, Stacey was controlled by her husband and Sasha only dream was to be loved. This was an awesome book. I didn't figure this one out. Great work.

The book could have been written better. I feel like it was juvenile. I liked the idea and the three characters so I finished it.

I really enjoyed this book.
This book is a perfect book for any woman who thinks having a man is more important than being a mother. Two thumbs up for me.

Well written, grammar was fine, I guess I was just disappointed that I knew how they story was going to play out by the 6th chapter. Very cliche reading.

Wow! The way this book just left my jaw dropped and heart sunken! So many things to dissect with each character!

I read this for my Book club. We all loved it. The characters were well written and developed. The story will make you gasp, get angry and rejoice. Sasha's story is all too real. Her sisters and their dynamic were spot on. Ms Kinney is an author to watch. We have already chosen another book by her to read. It could use better editing thus the 4 stars instead of 5.

Lessons Learned
I gave this book five stars because I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. The author is very detailed with her characters and their individual situations, that I felt that I knew them personally. Even though the book was about the main character, Sasha, I was able to learn a lesson from each one of the sisters. Many times while reading this book I gasped at some of the situations the characters were facing. I recommend this book to everyone!

Sasha
I thought this was a heart felt Christian story as told by Sasha. Although Sasha seemed to have great support systems in place, she continued to take the wrong road until it was too late to turn around. Good storyline & a touching read.

Wow
That was a book that really made you think. Pasha and her sisters went through a lot...with God's help he brought them through it. Had a few grammatical errors but the story was good. I would recommend this book.
