    <body><![CDATA[This book is neatly wrapped in a good plot, better than some of the others in the series. Marty and Clark journey west to visit their daughter Missie, only to be victims in tragedy. But is the accident that befalls them really as tragic as it seems?

    <body><![CDATA[This was my favorite book so far in the series!  I really loved the insight into another family dealing with relationships:  being grandma, mom, daughter, grandpa, dad, etc.  Isn't that what we're all dealing with constantly.  I love the faith that gets them through very hard trials and that Heavenl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60944948">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My favorite in the series thus far.  It is a great reminder that things happen for a reason and the Lord knows that reason.  We have to recognize that it's his will and search for the faith to be able to accept it.<br/><br/>p.s...totally different from the movie so it's worth the read to find out ...]]></body>

From the moment I opened the book and started reading the first page I couldn't keep my eyes off it for even  a second.  This is a great book!]]></body>
