David and his wife Joanna head out to the shores of Virginia to visit his dying father. Their daughter Rachel vanishes. David's father dies. David and Joanna's marriage is on the rocks. Old flames and new potential ones enter the picture. Secrets are revealed. Revenges are plotted. This book has it all. If it hadn't had beenf or the fact I started reading the book late at night - I would have never put it down.

This book is everything I wanted The Shack to be and more - not the ending (won't spoil that) but wanting to know more about the characters and story line.

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical of this book at first. I don't normally read Christian fiction. I was pleasantly surprised though. It had an interesting plot and wasn't "preachy" liked I feared it might be. It is a fast paced story and that kind of hurts it in the beginning. I thought things got a bit glossed over. But the second half is much better.
The biggest thing I disliked about this book was the storyline with the next door neighbor, Amina. You find out hints about her, but her development doesn't really go beyond that. It seemed like she is just there to be a temptation for David. A pretty Muslim woman tempting a good Christian man. That didn't sit right with me and is the main reason I gave the book an overall rating of 3 stars.
This book could have been better but it was worth reading.
