Publisher's summary

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury comes the second novel in a brand-new series about divine intervention and second chances - the dramatic story of a woman desperate to find deeper meaning in her life.

Mary Catherine grew up in a comfortable life despite an array of health issues, including a congenital heart condition (which she quietly obsesses over). She loves her parents, who are quite wealthy, but the lifestyle never appealed to her. Instead she pursues meaning through an abundance of charity work, always giving away a part of herself in service of others.

After her project with a local youth center comes to an end, Mary Catherine decides to travel to Uganda on a mission to meet the two children she sponsors - and to find out if her donations are actually helping.

Accompanied by Tyler, Sami, and Marcus Dillinger, Mary Catherine arrives in Africa only to find a makeshift orphanage with 17 children and no one to care for them.

They return home with heavy hearts, and Mary Catherine knows there is more work to be done. Intent on returning to Africa, Mary Catherine quits her job and leaves a budding romance behind to fulfill her desire to help others.

Inspirational and moving, Chasing Sunsets is the story of one woman's deep longings of the soul and the sacrifices she's willing to make in search of healing.

Intensely dramatic

What did you love best about Chasing Sunsets?

I loved the story line, the way Ms. K deals with real-life issues and how God comes through for us all one way or the other.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I had several favorite characters. I really like the angels. Maybe Marcus would be my favorite.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where the gun is pulled on Jag and he has the choice to shoot the gang member.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It moved me all the way through. The story was filled with one moving scenario after another.

Any additional comments?

I cannot wait to see what happens when MC goes to Africa, will she have to come back early due to her health? Will someone go get her? Will she be able to get married one day? I'm in such suspense. I can't wait for the thrid book to come otu!!!

Such an amazing story!

What an amazing series! I know I have one more book to go but I can’t recommend it enough. I’m reminded during this series how grateful I am that God is in control. His plan is so perfect even when we can’t see it.
