Nice listen

This was a nice book. The author had a way of telling the story in a way that makes the reader consider his own life and choices and treatment of others.

Twisty ending

Likes- characters were rich and lovable and funny. Story has meaning for all of us.
Dislikes - took a bit to get into. I stopped listening several times but glad I stuck with it.

Another must read

I love to read a book that does not slam you in the head with filth, vile language and depression. Just a joy to read. It is intelligent and very interesting throughout!

Loved the book and especially the message

It wasn't a roller coaster ride or a build up to a big moment....it was great throughout. It held my attention consistently and had a beautiful message about life and those apart of it who you love. Definitely worth the read!!

Another Great Book by this author

Richard Paul Evans really has a way of making you reflect on your own life and priorities. As is typical of his books, the characters were easy to relate to and become emotionally invested in their perspectives and outcomes. Also great narration. ~ JTC ~

Favorite

I feel like each book that Richard Paul Evans writes is my new favorite! I love the countless messages and life lessons that are written into the story lines. By the end of the book I feel like the characters are people I really know. He has such a gift.

Not His Best

This is the first 4 rating I’ve given to Richard Paul Evans. The storyline was a bit too unbelievable and it lacked the normal draw that keeps one gripped to the events of the story.

Willingness to forgive

It was a good listen and enjoyable storyline with loving characters. Forgiveness is a powerful decision.

Beautiful story!

I really loved this story giving me a reminder of what's most important in life. Thank you!

Enjoyed the book and thought it could actually have been a true story.

The story had a good description of the characters and their lives. I never knew an actual author or a person who was in the lime life of the public. I could however understand what happens to people when they become famous. I enjoyed this book because even though The main character became famous his inner most heart felt feelings never really strayed from the love of his family. I always love a book with a happy ending.
