Author Brenda Barrett has done more than a wonderful job of helping the reader see life's difficulties at their worst and how faith and trust in God can see one through. While there are many circumstances that are found within the book that most every reader would relate to in some form or fashion, there are also blessings and hope for those who don't allow the circumstance to control them.

I don't normally read romance fiction, but my wife insisted, and I am glad she did. I thought i had the story line figured out based on the title but the twists kept me interested and the suspense held me to the end.
Heartfelt book, good read for a sunny afternoon if u aren't looking for car chases and bullets. Romance that makes a lovely story!!
looks and sounds awesome can't wait to read it.....

Loved this book! Very good read.
I enjoyed this book...
Nice heart-felt story!!! I felt I was there observing first hand the tortuous asides going on by those who wanted to stand in the way of true love. Although this story ended favorably, as it should, I couldn't help but imagine a different ending also............

I am a full time writer and reader. When I dig myself out of a book whether mine or somebody else's, I am usually in the kitchen whipping up a batch of cookies or something sweet, I also exercise to counteract my sweet tooth. I also write for my blog http://www.fiwibooks.com
