A deadly diagnosis
In the fifth and final book in the Redemption series, plans are being made for a family reunion. Nearly all the adult Baxter children have a reason to celebrate—except one. As the preparations get under way, a deadly diagnosis sends shock waves through the Baxter family and threatens to tear them apart.
A heartbreaking secret
The reality of what might lie ahead brings each of the Baxters to a place of faith and honesty. In the process, Elizabeth and John come to grips with a secret they haven't shared with anyone, a secret they rarely admit even to themselves. At the same time, a young man is making his rise in Hollywood and wondering about his place in life.
A glorious celebration
Amidst the threat of sorrow, the Baxters share in their most wonderful celebration of all—a moment to remember that love always wins out, no matter how long the struggle, a reminder that God reigns even in the darkest night. A story of God's grace and redemption, his victory even in the most difficult times.

"I really enjoyed this series. I was great to watch how the family of faith was able to overcome so many obstacles that we all face and are not that common. It is encouraging to know that even the "faithful" have to cope to. "

" First book that ever made me cry and I literally couldn't hold it together one of those really ugly cries....I hope no one walks in on me....ha!! Definitely a great read though!!! "
— Brandi, 4/26/2011" If you need to shed some tears....this one will do it! "
— Emmahardeman, 3/21/2011" As with the rest of the books in the Redemption series, this book was highly predictable, which can be annoying. And it had that certain cheese factor. But, I was interested in seeing how the Baxter family ended up and of course, that means reading the last book in the series. "
— Torie, 2/19/2011" Sometimes I think Kingsbury's books are predictable, but I'm hooked on the Baxter family. I've just reserved the first two books of the Firstborn series form the library. All of her books are inspiring! "
— Adrienne, 2/1/2011" Fantastic conclusion to an outstanding series. Best one of all!!!! "
— Sandra, 1/13/2011" I'm reading this book with my book club, and we have all truly enjoyed every page of this and the entire series. "
— Brokenrubies, 1/11/2011" The last book in the Redemption Series with the Baxter Family. A family reunion & celebration. Very inspiring. "
— Paula, 11/4/2010" Keep a box of tissue handy when you read this book. I cries through the whole thing! "
— A.r., 8/22/2010" As completely predictable as the others in the series, only more so. I suppose I just wasn't as tolerant of the sappy perfectness of the characters this time around. The only semi-interesting plot line was completely unresolved and just leads into more books. Ugh! "
— Jessica, 7/21/2010" 5th and last book in the Baxter family series - wow, what an emotional read!!! Introduced Dayne Matthews who will be the main character for the Firstborn series - said I wasn't going to read it but now... "
— Marsha, 6/27/2010" This final book the series had a much sadder tone to it, but it was also still filled with hope and strength. I really like Karen Kingsbury and look forward to reading the follow-up series that stem off of this series. "
— Tiffany, 6/15/2010" This was probably my favorite book in the whole series! I was so sad at the end! It's hard to let go - I am going to miss reading about the Baxter family! "
— Shelley, 6/3/2010" An excellent ending to the Redemption series!! I loved it! "
