Kellie Coates Gilbert has continued to keep me absorbed in this Brisco family saga. The family faces many tough obstacles that must be overcome, but there are also moments that keep the reader from feeling that the story is overwhelmed by “gloom and doom.”

I love how the author is able to bring her characters to life and make the reader care about them. Some of the problems the family must face would be more than many of us could handle, but they come together to deal with each issue head on.

Ms. Gilbert has written a beautiful and inspirational tale that will pull you into this story. The book is one that you can easily read in a day, but I’ve become so interested in the Briscoe family that it is hard for me to not immediately start the next one in the series.

Although you can enjoy later books without reading the first one, I would suggest that you start this series at the beginning so that you can more completely enjoy this family saga. ( )
