I wonder who would be more disappointed: the person who picked up this book thinking they were reading Fifty Shades of Gray or vice versa.This book isn't easy to rate. I like the basic premise of needing forgiveness and closure and the Wilmington/ Holden Beach setting. However, it seemed as if there were too many subplots, irrelevant details, and overwritten emotional appeal. My college creative writing prof would have crossed out over half of it.People who enjoy Kingsbury's other novels willThe only reason I gave this book 4 stars is that I am tired of reading books by Christian authors who glamorize the characters - "she" is always young and extremely beautiful and "he" is always young and terribly handsome. Not everyone who falls in love in the real world are beautiful and handsome nor young. I expect this from secular authors but don't understand why it has to be prevalent in Christian books.Otherwise, I liked this book very much. The subject of the story was quite different
Wow! I just love Karen Kingsbury more and more with each book that comes out. She handle the issue of abortion in an amazing way. I cried in the book at several points. I love how she weaves in the tale of forgiveness between these two people who made a decision to abort their baby, that still haunts them 10 years later. But, the fact that forgiveness is shown from all different sides is what I loved the most. Not only did they seek forgiveness from themselves and God, but they sought it with

4 out of 5 stars. This book pulled at my heart strings in so many ways. Yes, constantly hearing Emma grieve over her life was kind of bothering me - until I found out why. Karen's book has touch me on such a deep and spiritual level that I can promise you I will be re-reading it and recommending to anyone that is willing to sit down and enjoy it. No matter what your views on abortion are - this book will make you think. Everyone has a past.On top of that, this is the perfect book when it comes
Worth reading---this author is a christian fiction writer. A lot of scripture quotes, which is fine. I liked this book---it has a good ending, but the book as a whole was pretty sad. Glad I read it, but it was sad. Not upbeat at all. My next book has to be a comedy!!!
What an honest, real, open book about abortion, and the aftermath that nobody talks about. Brad is getting ready to marry the woman he loves, but he realizes that, before he gives his life to her, he has to close the chapter of his past. That past involves a childhood love, a choice they made, and dealing with the abortion of their child due to an unplanned pregnancy. It shows how, one decision can not only affect the life of a child taken away, but can affect a woman, a man, and those that come
