    <body><![CDATA[I was unhappy with one part in the book, if you read it you could guess. However, although there was a large part of me that was sad and disappointed, I found myself sobbing for hours over the book, I have to say it was a very spiritual and uplifting book. There always needs to be reminders that wha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60947070">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had mixed feelings about reviewing this book.  I am a big fan of Karen Kingsbury, but during the first 100 pages, I almost set the book aside.  I felt that way too much time was spent setting up the situation, and it was too repetitive in the beginning.  Because I am not one to give up on a book (...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63785697">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another 'WOW' from Karen Kingsbury!  What I love most about her books is the theme of redemption woven throughout every story and also the absolute 'realness' of her characters.  I was halfway through the book when the story line took a turn I was not expecting and then I couldn't put the book down!<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45984941">more...</a>]]></body>
