Too quick
The book moved at a very fast pace. I wish it had been longer. It is very religious. It fit the story and its characters. Luke was a very good man who just found out his brother had died and left a little girl who Rachel, her aunt was raising her. Both he and his parents had rejected his brothers new found faith. They didn't like his preachy God talk. They didn't even show up for his funeral. And then they were hypocrites trying to get custody away because they were rich and Rachel was just getting by. Luke marries her and it is very hard for them and they are faced with adversity. I liked the ending and the pearl analogy and the mysterious woman. It was a sweet epilogue.

A Wonderful Story of Finding Home Together
This is a book I have read many times over the years. A story of love, forgiveness and God’s redeeming horribly painful circumstances for good. Was wonderful to watch Luke and Rachel’s relationship grow from marriage for the sake of their niece, to one of love for each other.

I loved the story. I was especially fond of the way the characters each had to find their own ways in dealing with a tragic loss. it was a beautiful reminder how God can take the tragic things in our lives and turn them into our greatest blessings.

A young woman is thrust into the role of mom when her sister and brother-in-law die in a car crash. Her parents, missionaries, died by guerillas fighting Christianity. Then she finds herself fighting for custody from the wealthy in-laws. I bet you can guess what happens.

I enjoyed how the characters came together in order to make the best out of a situation.

This was a very moving book. God is always working through our lives. I cant wait for Fayla to write more books. I went to elementary school with her. She is a very strong woman in her faith.
