— ?Christal?, 11/24/2010" I have enjoyed every book in this series. To follow these young ladies as they grow and mature has been a pleasure. Faith and belief in God plays a big part in this story. It is a story of Love and Forgiveness. We should all learn to forgive as Jesslyn has. God Bless the author. "
