This complex and compelling story captured my attention from the very first page. I love how Henderson weaves together her characters. It is like meeting up with old friends. Charlotte's struggle with God is heart wrenchingly honest. The reader can empathize with her and thus the characters become three dimensional and take on a life of their own. These are real life struggles that do not have easy answers. I love that the readers feel these struggles and hurt right along side all of her characters. To me this is life, it isn't easy and sometimes gets messy and complicated. This book is a book that needs to be read multiple times in order to understand the rich story line each time it is read.
My thanks to Bethany House publishers and Netgalley for the free e-copy to read and review.
