Brad and Emma work through the past and eventually find forgiveness and healing.
Spoiler Alert
This story works through some tough issues. It works through the emotional pain that abortion causes to the people who have had one. It shows that the only way to true forgiveness is through God.
This was a very emotional story. The last third of the book, I had tears running down my face constantly. It is a good reminder that unresoved conflict can eat away at us for years until we take care of it.
I think that this is one of Karen Kingsbury's best books. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
