Helpful Score: 1

I got this book in the mail and started reading it almost immediately and could not leave it alone until it was done about 24 hours later. I easily fell into living with the characters in Echo, Florida, feeling like I was right amongst them seeing and feeling what was going on in the story through River Jordan's lyrical prose. Ever since her husband died, Velma True has been living a life of seclusion. Then a stranger appears with an unusual birthday gift that opens up a new world to her. This book touched me with some truths resonating with my own life. It is different, though, than any other Christian fiction book I've read. Everything isn't always pure and neat and tidy, which adds a sense of realness to this plot that has an otherworldly element to it.
