This is one of the first books I’ve read by Tracie Peterson,
and it won’t be the last. The storyline,
albeit predictable, was entertaining and fun to read. I enjoyed that the characters seemed more
like real people, not your typical “Christian romance” character that is pretty
much perfect except for one minor flaw.
The main character Marty is struggling spiritually and
personally and it is very enjoyable to read how she is dealing with it and how
the others around her respond and interact with her. Her maid, Alice, is another character you can
love…may we hope a book in the series will have her as the leading lady???
I didn’t feel like the book quite “ended”
though. There were so many things that I
wanted to know more about what happened, so I’m hoping that the second book in
the series will answer some of those questions.
In all honesty, this book was mostly about the interaction
between Marty and her staff…there was not a whole lot of depth built between
Mary and Jake’s (her husband) relationship.
Something seemed to be developing between them, but it just wasn’t the
amount of interplay I’ve come to expect between leading characters.
Overall it was a very enjoyably read and I look forward to the next book in the series.
I was given a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
