    <body><![CDATA[this is the first book of a new series and also a spin off from the Redemtion series. I am so glad that Karen Kingsbury wove the happens of the Baxtor family into this. I can't wait to see how it all ends. I'm addicted!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm liking these clean, fast reads from Karen Kingsbury. This one looks at the price of fame while dealing with a kind-of spin-off character from the Baxter Family series I read last fall.
