Publisher Description
A Deadly Accident The Christian Kids Theater group is devastated by a tragedy greater than any of them could’ve imagined. Now their director, Katy Hart, must find a way to walk the kids through their grief and give them a reason to believe again. But will hatred and revenge have the final word? An Aching Emptiness Dayne Matthews is at the top of the Hollywood list, working on what could be his best movie yet. Still, he is empty and unfocused, aching for real love and the family he’ll never know. Then a friend tells him about a teaching center and a way to become like God. Is this the answer Dayne’s been searching for? A Shocking Discovery John Baxter reconnects with an old friend and shares a buried secret, one that he and his wife shared all their married lives. Now - in his wife’s honor - he decides to continue a very special search. But in the process he makes a critical mistake. What will happen when one of his daughters stumbles onto a letter she was never supposed to see? In this season for the Baxters, grace and redemption will play a greater role than ever before.

"I had planned on finishing this book in six days but I ended up doing it in three... I could not help it because it was just that good. I am able to relate to all of the characters so well and the story gets me so involved that it is just mesmerizing. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!"

Forgiven Listener Reviews

" All right, all right...I know how dumb it is to rate a first book in a series as 1 star and then go on to read the next. What can I say? The second book happened to be on the new books at the library so I decided to give it another shot. I have to say that I'm not impressed with the writing in this series (the first I've read by Kingsbury). The characters, scenarios and conversations just don't ring true at all... "

" This story reaches for the tears. Seemed overly so. Comments made by characters reached over the top to me. Great crafting of subplots. "
— Mary, 2/17/2014 -
" A story of hope and healing. Very inspirational so far and I think it will keep me glued to every chapter until the last page. "
— Julie, 2/17/2014 -
" good book but not as "meaty" as the others...more of a "filler" book- kind of gave info necessary to move on to bigger issues. "
— Alison, 2/8/2014 -
" Ahhh so amazing. I cried so many times...lol these books make me too emotional! But i still adore them. Can't wait to read #3! "

— Tiffany, 2/1/2014 -
" This is the first book of the second series to the Redemption Series. You really should read the first 5 to understand what is going on with the characters and to get to know them. "
— Teresa, 1/25/2014 -
" Understanding that forgiveness is a key to finding real happiness. That's what several characters in "Forgiven" learn. Another fast, clean read in this series that really has me hooked! "

— Lorna, 3/15/2012 -
" Nice read, I love to read her books when I need to get grounded. This one illustrated how you need to be honest with yourself and with the mistakes you make! "
— Margaret, 2/28/2012 -

" great series - easy read "
— Shawn, 11/11/2011 -
" It was really good, I like how Katy decided that Dayne wasn't worth anything to her unless he was christian. I think it's cool that even though she really liked him, she wanted to help him figure it out, but gave him space. "
— Natalia, 8/23/2011 -
" I felt this book as well as the series dragged and after a while I was bored with the entire series. "
— Fran, 6/10/2011 -
" Again, I wanted to get closer to the characters. Though the accident does provide a look into some of them. I DID cry, and that is why this book got four stars. "
— Robin, 1/20/2011 -
