I have been looking forward to this book being released. It was not a letdown. Watching the unique characters evolve through their life's situations was a fun read. One can laugh and cry with the characters. I judge a book by whether or not I still think of the characters after I've closed the cover at the end. I will miss all the family and friends in this series but await Kimberly's next adventure!

Another great story

I enjoy reading these stories. They are all good. My favorite of the series is Clarissa's Triumph but Luke's Purpose is a close second. I love this historical fiction series and the interwoven inspirations contained within the text. I am hoping for more.

This a a clean written story of a young man who travels to New England to help his ailing grandfather who is a minister. After he gets there he meets a young school teacher who at first doesn’t know what to think of him. She soon learns he is a man of faith and they both begin to have feelings for each other. Its a sweet story with a feel good ending that will leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling.
