Publisher's summary

As a youth, Henry had been rescued from terrible circumstances by the Delaneys, whose loving care helped to heal his painful memories. Now, as a young man of character and deep faith working as a representative of the law, his duties include some that leave him with haunting memories, particularly of the young widow and baby boy whom he longs to help.

Some years after Henry was adopted, Christine also joined the Delaney family. She, too, learns to know her parents' God. When she moves to the city to find employment, it is with full determination to follow in the faithful footsteps of her parents and beloved older brother. But what would brother and sister find, beyond the gathering storm?

Loved It

I loved it ! like all of the books I've read by this author. I mostly love that it is rooted in Christianity.

Missing story line

Wish there was another book between this one and the one before. There are more than ten years missing. Other than that I enjoyed this series.

Lovely Story

I loved this book. But I was a bit confused in the beginning of the story as I didn’t realize the story was being based on the children all grown up until later on in the book when there was some explanation about it once I figured that out, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, loved the faith based novel, and would recommend this book to many.

Another great one

I was confused at first and thought I had the wrong book because of the new characters, but I quickly got hooked and went through this book in one day.

Excellent

Love books by this author. She always has a well written and wonderful story line.
Added a new element using audible instead of reading them myself. I am loving it.

Great story🥰

I liked it, but it definitely made me cringe in some parts of the story lol but other than that it was a great book

Not one of the best of this series

The switching story lines has made for difficulty personally. I can't remember what happened/happening and would have to go back to "review". Love her books and series, this is the first one I've read where she has focused on two different storylines - hope it's the only one.

The best

I really like this set of books . I want more the reader is very good. The books keep you wanting more and ez to read . Great on tape for the car

The second part of paralell is when good sister Christine, mistakes love for ,possession .Wynn respects so does Henry loves them as God's gift.But"Christine realizes the difference between love and respect as a precious gift of God ,or being treated like a possession ,to doted oppn if pleases the ownerr,and cast aside or broken ,blamed for her mistreareatment,because ofvdispleasing him.Christine realizese To must come first If,her future husband disagreed.Thus severing a naarpride based marriagev./union.She returns to what. she recalls what her parent always had been witness of Marriage based on trusting and loving Godb.Thus it is like the b prodigal daughter returns ,to God
But it shows a prodigal Son .who returns to God

quite depressing story.

This narrator was not my favorite. the story was pretty disturbing for me because I have been through an abusive relationship myself. I had to skip to the end. The end was good, but it was a pretty torturous read. not as good as her other ones.
