  <default_description>Shane Galanter is ready to put down roots after years of searching. But is he making the right choice? Or is there a woman somewhere who remembers a love that hasn&amp;#8217;t faded with time? Lauren Gibbs is a successful international war correspondent who gave up on happily-ever-after years ago&amp;#8212;when it was ripped away from her. So why is life so empty?  Emily Anderson is a college freshman raised by her grandparents, about to take her first internship as a journalist. But before she can move ahead, she discovers a love story whose tragic ending came with her birth. As a result, she is drawn to look back and search out the mother she&amp;#8217;s never met, and the father she never knew. With hallmark tenderness and power, Karen Kingsbury weaves a tapestry of life, loss, love, faith&amp;#8212;and the miracle of resurrection.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I couldn't decided if I should rate it two or three stars.  I thought it was a typical christian love story.  I found it very predictable.  I didn't ever feel connected to any of the characters.  It was still a sweet story.  I might read some of her other books in the future.   ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this because I really enjoyed &quot;Between Sundays&quot; by this author.  I liked the story, but was somewhat disappointed at the end, it felt like a segue into the next book instead of a real ending.
