It was a little predictable but still a great Christian story! It reminded me of a lot of the promises God made to us that are easily forgotten when we're hurting or dealing with tough situations.

Great inspirational story!

When starting to read/listen to this book I found it a little difficult to get interested. It did not take long for the author to capture my interest and help me realize many women are dealing with challenging situations that cause them to question themselves. I would highly recommend this block to everyone living in America today.
