Publisher Description
New York Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury-the "queen of inspirational fiction" (Time)- is acclaimed for her poignant, uplifting novels. In this moving story, Jack and Molly Campbell are enjoying a wonderful life with Joey, their four-year-old adopted son. But their world is soon shattered when they learn Joey's biological father is out of prison and wants to begin a new life with his son. And when a judge orders them to surrender Joey, the Campbells desperately consider taking their son and disappearing-just like dandelion dust.

"A tearjerker. Loved the story yet the writing wasn't what I wanted it to be. I like books that show me the story not just tell me. But I may try another inspirational book by Karen Kingsbury later on."

— Sherry, 12/20/2013 -

" I'd already heard what this book was about, so I basically just skimmed through it. "
— Kim♥, 5/28/2013 -
" This was my first Karen Kingsbury novel and I loved it! The story line was heart wrenching, but I was hooked early in the book. This was one I spent a day in my pajamas reading! "
— Vicki, 3/4/2013 -
" A sweet story but a bit too sweet and predictable. I felt like I'd been to Sunday School. Characters were not well developed - only knew them on the surface. I finished it because it was a Book Club selection but I admit I skimmed a lot from lack of real interest. "
— Nancy, 2/13/2013 -
" have a tissue. A great read. Couldn't put down. "
— Desiree, 8/23/2012 -

— Laurie, 6/2/2012 -
" The movie did not even get close to the quality of the book!! "
— Paula, 5/19/2012 -
" A good story, but predictable. I liked the setting since I lived in South Florida. "
— Laura, 3/31/2012 -
" Weakest KK novel I've read thus far...not sure why it's the first to be made into a movie. "
— Kathryn, 3/9/2012 -
" Interesting read about an adoption that goes bad. Kind of predictable. This is a Christian author so the book is heavy on scripture. "
— Garris, 2/14/2012 -
" Another quick read and a heart wrenching scenario so if you're a crier, you've been warned. It did keep me guessing a bit on how the situation would be resolved but there's no huge twist or anything in the book. A sweet story and if you like Karen Kingsbury's style, you'll probably like it. "
— Kaia, 1/17/2012 -
" I don't go for a lot of religion and faith in the books I read but the story was powerful enough to help me ignore the strong religious messages. "
— Lisa, 12/18/2011 -
" Such a GREAT book! A MUST read! I haven't cried that much in a book in a long time!!! "
— Jocelyn, 10/31/2011 -
" I picked this book up at a church rummage sale-based by reading the cover--thoroughly enjoyed it. Couldn't put it down! "
— Becky, 10/13/2011 -
" Couldn't put the book down. Brought tears to my eyes at the end. "
— Karen, 10/9/2011 -
" Like Dandelion Dust was a slightly different than other Kingsbury books. It started out with many unbelievers, who, through circumstances, come to know the Lord with a strong and real faith. The underlying theme of 'a child's faith' was the best part of this book, in my opinion. "
— Tia, 9/26/2011 -
" The book read smoothly and quickly, but the interaction between the two sisters was cheezy and ridiculous, and the ending was obvious. "
— Jessie, 9/6/2011 -
" It was so slow moving. I didn't finish it. It couldn't keep my attention. <br/> "
— Carrie, 9/4/2011 -
" What an awesome story! I didnt think I would like how it ended but it was soooo wonderful!!! I am now a fan of Karen Kingsbury. This was my very first book of hers! "
— Babs, 8/31/2011 -
" ...sweet story...somewhat predictable...I did quite like the reference to I Kings, Chapter 3, about two mothers that both wanted the child...sweet story... "
— Sue, 7/29/2011 -
" A heart-warming story about a child's faith that teaches us all.<br/> "
— Margery, 7/24/2011
