The fifth and final novel in the epic Grace Series, “Raising Attabury” takes the reader on a decidedly different type of romantic journey that’s less about discovery as it is about rediscovery. This novel, written by USA Today Best Selling Christian novelist, Staci Stallings, explores Christian themes of forgiveness, hurt, healing and hope. It is the story of the every-marriage, the one that’s just going through the motions, trying to stay together and wondering if it’s even worth the effort. In these pages, you will find hope. You will find real life. You will find peace as you read of characters who do not have perfect lives, who make mistakes, and who ultimately experience the life God truly has in store for each of us if we can find the courage to surrender to His plan for our lives.

This story really puts priorities and life into perspective. It gives you thought provoking questions in a wonderful tale. You get wrapped up and connect with the characters. At the same time questions are posed that make you look at the life you are living.
loved the whole series
This the fifth book in the Grace series. I loved reading this whole series. In Raising Attabury, I was particularly moved by the choices the characters made and how they evolved. I have so many passages underlined.
Very good book!
would be very interesting to read the rest of the series.
Great story and I enjoyed it so much! Didn’t want to see the book end.
to slow
Good
This is a book I will read again. The characters are endearing, and the way they love and help friends is inspirational. I lived this book!
I enjoyed this book more than any I’ve read for awhile.
Nice ending to a good series.
I enjoyed every word
So biblical and dealing with things we all struggle with. (Especially those of us remodeling a house!) It was like hearing a pastor council me every time I sat down. Good thinking for relationships.
Christian second chance romance. Haven’t read other books in the series; was able to follow along quickly. Writing was awkward in places. Enjoyed Dani and Eric’s “awakening.” Also enjoyed the author’s religious field of vision, ie. learning about vs being introduced to. 3 1/2 stars.
I loved this book!! Well written!!!! I loved the inspirational messages in it!!!
Eric and Dani are facing problems in the marriage. In the midst of this they take on the monumental task of supervising the renovation of an old home Atterbury which represents a dark part of Dani’s life. Through prayers and the support of new friends (especially the prayers they offer)
Changes and a new life arise on the horizon
too drawn out
This book was okay but it was hard to pick back up once I put it down. It really didn’t hold my interest.
I love that this story was about a couple that was already together instead of boy-meets-girl. I found their struggle in their marriage to be realistic and the characters to have real-life issues that they clung to for a while. The supporting characters were possible a little too perfect, but very likeable. This is a good read.
Moving romantic love story
