Reviews

[Marilyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

"There is no failure. There are just bumps in the road of life. If you learn from your mistakes then it's not a failure."
A family is knocked off balance by circumstances in their lives. They lean on each other and on Christian faith. Sara ... Joy ... Dale ... Esther ... Kathleen are all characters that must rebalance their lives. Christian themes of faith, prayer, hope. The story is good. The writing itself is weak, lacks depth & quality.
