This book, like so many of the Frank Peretti books, grabs a hold of you and won't let you go. It very tenderly addresses the issue of abortion from a perspective of an aborted child who waits to meet her mother in Heaven. The book is short, and the reading goes by quickly...but the message you will keep in your heart forever.

This book is for anyone who has or has contemplated abortion. It will give you a new perspective on it. Frank Peretti once again uses God's Spirit to write a book that details the human heart so passionately and shows God's grace and compassion. He is not only a storyteller he is a modern day prophet.

The subject of the book was quite surprising when you get into it. It has a back & forth storyline that may be hard for younger kids to follow, but it was a good read. Worth it!

Kathy observed a lady in the grave yard and a little stone with the name tilly. She couldn't get it out of her mind. Hunts for the lady to find out who the stone belongs to. Unusal ending.

"Kathy looked at the little gravestone again. Now she could see it clearly. It bore just that one name, Tilly....She couldn't take her eyes away. She didn't want to. She stooped down to look. Only one date. Only one. Nine years ago.?"

Kathy and Dan Ross are just like any other young couple. No one would ever imagine what secrets lie buried in their souls until Kathy is captivated by that simple name on a tiny gravestone and their lives are changed forever.

Originally presented as a radio drama on Focus on the Family, Tilly is a deeply moving novel-an unforgettable story of life, love and Christ's forgiveness.

A touching story. Quick read.

Tilly is a heart warming story that anyone can appreciate but especially someone who has made a personal choice to abort a child no matter what the reason. It will give you hope of one day seeing your child again no matter if your child is in heaven due to abortion or you have just lost your child to death in some manner.

This book is awesome! It is touching and healing for anyone who has had an abortion. It is also very good for anyone thinking about it as well. Frank Peretti is a great writer. I highly recommend any of his books!

This a very short book about a young couple who is captivated by the one name -- Tilly -- on a tiny gravestone. Pretty good suprise ending.

I was disappointed in this book. It was not as good as I had hoped. I normally like Frank Peretti. It was good, but it seemed there was a big piece of the puzzle missing.
