I didn't like this book at all, but it isn't necessarily a bad book. The thing is, it's a book that I would never ever in my life pick up at a bookstore thinking, "Maybe I'll like this!" It's just not the kind of thing I like to read. I decided to read it because I want to read more Christian fiction and I'm reading anything that I happen to see on my mom's shelf while I'm at home for the summer. It was a quick read, so I don't feel like I wasted too much time on it...

this was the sequel to "A Garden in Paris". again, LOTS of surprises! not only for me, but i think for a number of the characters!! for it NOT being a "mystery", but a romance, i was nicely surprised at just how much mystery it did contain, albeit NOT any murders.
the author definitely did a great job on these books. i wasn't expecting them to be as good as the others of her's i've read, since they were a much different style than the others.

Sequel to A Garden in Paris. Public library book.
Good combination of storytelling, character, and oh so importantly the faith element, the how-to-walk-with-God that we all struggle with, which is masterly interwoven and strong, an integral part of the story. Makes me want to know God better. Yes, it is fiction. No, it does not preach.
Definitely will be reading more of Whitson's books.

Enjoyed this book immensely. Really enjoy her writing style. Encouraging to read how the older woman in the story is living her freedom in Christ and the maturity and peacefulness of how she handles the relationship with not only her self-centered daughter but also her future son-n-law. Learned a lot about Tuscany also. :)Encourages one to not live in fear but to enjoy the person G-d has created you to be. Trust Him and step out and enjoy today!
I didn't like this as much as the first book, A Garden in Paris. There was a lot of discussion about religion. I read these books for their clean stories, not the religious ideas. Although I did like this line, "Tell the mountains in my life how big my God is rather than my normal tendency to tell God how big the mountains are."
This book was a bit slow to begin with, but as it got into the story, several life lessons were shaping up. Such as: "Tell the mountains in my life how big my God is rather than my normal tendency to tell God how big the mountains are." and "If we knew we had eternity locked up, we could weather anything life threw at us."
Usually I read nonfiction, but this was a splendid novel. Written by a Christian author, the message of redemption underlies the delightful cast of characters as their lives unfold and culminate in the romantic setting of Florence.
A wonderful story of romance, priorities in life, family relationships, music, scenery, food; a sequel to A Garden in Paris. There is a Christian theme woven throughout.
Really enjoyd this book. Have to read book #1 to know what's going on.
An enjoyable read with great reminders to find joy in the moment. :-)

A ending to the story began in A garden in Paris. Read them both.
A continuation of the book A Garden In Paris
This book is a sequel to A Garden in Paris and it could be read without the prequel, but I do not suggest it because you would miss a lot of character growth from the first book. I must admit that I really enjoyed the first novel better, but I did enjoy this one greatly as well. Here you have some characters that you have grown to love struggling through life's problems and learning how things will not always turn out how you once thought, but they will turn out fine if you leave God in charge....more
A great ending for this two book series. Very inspiring.
Couldn't wait to read this book. Picked it up and started it only to find that I had already read it last year.

Recommends it for:
people who like Christian fiction, Paris, Tuscany, romance, and entertaining books
This is the sequel to A Garden in Paris, and I read this entire book in one sitting on my eight-hour flight from London to Kansas City. Again, it's a bit cliche and nothing earth-shattering, but it was intense, entertaining, and although Christian fiction, not afraid to tackle some very real issues. I highly recommend this book (and it's predecessor) if you're looking to be entertained.
Sequel to A Garden in Paris. Great gentle Christian fiction read.
