I've never seen any book written quite like this one. Francine braids two stories into one. While Sierra is struggling with changes in her life, she reads about and finds comfort in an ancestors diary - Mary Kathryn. Uniquely written with a powerful message in the end.

Francine Rivers is an amazing writer, and I always enjoy her books. This one was no exception. It took me a while to warm up to the story within the story, but it did grow on me. I was more interested in Serena's story. If you like Francine Rivers, you should like this book.

Great writing with a wonderful message and a great ending! I think this would be an excellent book club read because of the marriage issues and the spiritual journey. It even has discussion questions in the back!

Wow is all I can say. Her character development is amazing. The booked tugged at my emotions and helped me to really examine my attitudes and relationship with my own husband. The insiders look at an adulterers heart was gut wrenching.
