Deborah Raney has woven an intriguing tale… Her characters breathe life as they struggle with deep, heartfelt needs. What I loved most was the message that hidden sins and a painful past cannot be stuffed away and forgotten without the cleansing power of God’s forgiveness. —an amazon.com reviewer

What a great author- a really wonderful book. If you want a good read this is it!
This book has everything that I want in a book!
I enjoyed the plot and the writing was very good but too many pages were blank and the words download now we’re on every page, whether they were blank or o printed. Too many pages just never showed up…quite frustrating and has never happened to me before. I couldn’t give a better rating due to that…great story though.
Whew!
I enjoyed the setting, reading about that part of the country.
I really liked the originality of this book. It addressed ethics in many areas and made one think without being preachy. Overall a great read
I absolutely loved it. I love everything I’ve read from this author – I constantly look for other things by her. Her characters are moving – they become part of me as I read about them, and I’m always a bit sad when a book is finished.
Deb Raney is one of my favorite authors who can always be
depended upon for an interesting book with great characters, an
interesting story and a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.
Very good. Many faceted Christian love story.
