I absolutely could NOT put it down!! I have never been disappointed in any of Wanda Brunstetter's novels. Many times, when an event happens in our life, we pray to God and expect an instant answer in our favor. When we don't get it right away, we think God didn't hear us, he wasn't listening, or the answer was no. We fail to remember that we will get our answer in God's time not ours. Sometimes the answer is "no" or "not right now" later on we realize God often times has something even better in store for us. Wanda's stories always have at least one message that we can learn from. Her stories are full of faith, family, and love.
