I received an advance review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you JC Miller and RABT Books Tours and PR. I'm excited to be a part of this tour.
This is my first book by this author and won’t be my last. In this book we meet three strangers who, after Katrina, are displaced from their current securities and set against extraordinary circumstances. Fate brings them together and together they forge a new path. Their pasts are scarred with the pain of loss, the bitterness of starting over, and the faith that sustains them.
This book is beautifully written with complex characters who are strong in their own ways. I found a part of myself in Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz and identified with them on a variety of levels. I also enjoyed their dynamic. The characters bring the story to life and allowed my imagination to fully engage. I was immersed in this book from start to finish.
I look forward to reading more from this author.

A dramatic plot and uplifting resolution . . . The result is a potent testament to the power of faith and perseverance in the face of tragedy.
I've read other books by JC Miller and I think that she is going to become one of those authors who keeps me on my toes. She confounds me and challenges me with her stories and writing.
I enjoyed all the characters, they were all so different yet connected and they each had their own trials and triumphs.
There were storms in their lives, but when they were reminded to put their trust and faith in God they made it through the storms.

I can’t compliment JC Miller’s writing enough. She is the real deal. This book took me through so many emotions. Certain parts I found myself just smiling as I read. A very good book that forces you to look deep into yourself while reading about each of these characters.
The characters were real and wonderfully developed, the story line was captivating, and the ending was satisfying.
Relateable, funny, sad, moving, convicting and a great story line.

This book was amazing. I felt so drawn to the characters. To have a story which allows you to feel and care deeply for all the characters in this way has to be seen as very special.
If it's atmosphere you're wanting, this book has it in bucket loads. I was there feeling the heat, experiencing the emotions and rooting for these characters - all of them.
It's full of themes and life lessons, it's REAL and RAW, it's not cookie cutter and I think that is a great thing.
