Love this family
I've just finished the last of the series of six books. I just hate to see this families story end. I NEVER buy kindle books but did with this series. I'm sure I can't give this series the kind of review it deserves. The author is so full of wisdom and explains God's grace and mercy through these characters. Dear Mrs Goering, do you really have to end this series? Is love to hear about Kara and her new baby.

I'm won't be able to say much about this book to avoid spoiling it for other readers. This was an emotional roller-coaster and the theme addressed a difficult topic for Christians: God's will and plans versus our faith in what He can do and our will. The theme is something I questioned a few times and felt the author handled it very well.

Silver Lining is a deeply moving and faith-filled story about love, resilience, and trusting God through life’s storms. Hannah and Chris’s journey is heartfelt and real, reminding us of the power of faith and family in the hardest seasons. A beautiful addition to the Glendale series that will inspire and uplift!

This book touched me spiritually like no other. I smiled through tears at Hannah’s and Chris’ journey. Thank you for leaving me with memories of my own loss of my spouse. Who left this world for heaven from cancer.

This was my favorite book of the series! I’m so sad that it’s also the end. I could not put this book down. It kept me hooked from the first chapter. I love how Ann uses everyday issues in her books and shows how God uses people to help us through these tough situations. Nobody is perfect, and we all face difficult times, but God is always there waiting to help us through. This is definitely one of my favorite succession series, and I will miss these characters.
