Resumen del Editor

Now an original series on Prime Video

This warmhearted prequel to the “heart-tugging and emotional” (RT Book Reviews) #1 New York Times bestselling Baxter Family Series—now a television series—follows the family members as they face rising tensions during a wedding and a colossal storm.

A terrible storm builds in the early morning sky over Bloomington, Indiana, as Elizabeth Baxter prepares to celebrate her daughter Kari’s wedding to Tim Jacobs. It’s supposed to be the happiest of days, but Elizabeth can’t shake a growing sense of dread. Something bad is about to happen. Elizabeth knows it.

Indeed, there are dark currents of conflict and doubt coursing through each of the Baxter family, and Kari Baxter is starting to panic. Is her decision to marry Tim a mistake? Meanwhile, Kari’s brother Luke is angry and resentful of their sister Ashley, who has recently returned from Paris as a single mom. Everyone thinks Ashley spends too little time with her son, and they’re upset with her for another reason: Ashley has rejected her loyal long-ago love, Landon Blake, who clearly still cares for her. At the same time, the four Baxter sisters are struggling with the faith that has always been the family’s glue.

When the storm outside reaches a terrifying crescendo, a shocking moment of danger brings important truths to light. At the end of the long day, can the Baxters remain a family, tested but stronger?

Having read KK in the past with her life changing fiction, I thought I had grown beyond the crying, lol. Well, she got me again. I started with her with the Redemption series. I can't remember who referred her to me but, what a spiritual impact. I never cried so much reading a book. The pictures she painted weren't always pretty but she showed the Father full of love and the takeaway has always been, you can come home. Come back to the Father.

With that being said, this read was kind of like getting caught up with old friends. What I find about reading KK in this season of my life was my quick irritation with Carrie not allowing Ryan to explain himself. We always talk about communication is key and yet here, she failed epically., again and again...just like us. Then Ashley and Landon and little Cole. Here is where I cried.

It has been a minute since I've read KK. It felt good to come home. I now want to read the Redemption series again.

Hope filled

narrator's were great, left you wanting to read or re-read all the books again.

Great story but some inconsistencies

I love Karen Kingsbury and the Baxters’ story. However this story contradicts some parts of the other books in so many ways that it drives me a little crazy.

Incredible

Loved this book I couldn’t stop reading it’s a must read family love and heartbreak and our lord the miracles he does

Love the Baxter’s

I love the Baxter’s but this book isn’t on the top of my list. Still it was great to hear about all of the beloved characters. More than anything it has gotten me restarting the Baxter’s series from the top! Let’s hear about new Baxter kids next!

Excellent Book

I love Karen’s spiritual books and this one is one of her top books. Yes, we are all sinners striving to be more Christ like, loving and accepting of others.
