" I didn't even realize this was Christian fiction until after I had bought the book. I really liked that this author took a contemporary issue and addressed it without the typical religious catchwords that are typically associated with mental illness. It was brave to approach the subject the way she did in a Christian novel, but it really made the author stand out to me. Typically Christian fiction is formulaic, not well written, a version of dime novel romances without the sex. I love that every character in this book is a real person and the characters don't go around spouting off the sinner's prayer or the four spiritual laws. They just live their lives like normal people and if their faith shows, the author lets that stand for itself. No heavy handed repentance "come to Christ" scenes. I will definitely read more by this author. This is creative thought that really doesn't typically occur in the Christian fiction community. There isn't a split second of anything heavy-handed or preachy in it - I'd feel comfortable passing it along to non-Christian friends without worrying that they would think I was giving them a sermon. It's just a great book about family and forgiveness and doesn't force itself to be burdened with having to "prove" it's Christian lit. "
