I loved this series. It was a simple and sweet read. Book one introduces you into the core family and the rest of the series follows up with the family members. It is a Christian book, but the religious tones don't feel forced or bombard you at every turn.
Lori Wick is an excellent author and her books never fail to involve you in her stories. They are difficult to put down but if you do you will find them easy to pick up again and you are instantly involved again.

Katie faces the struggles of being on her own and the family is always saying and remembering you never know what tomorrow brings with it, so get through one day at a time.
