Esther. . . Esther. She definitely is seeping in her own guilt when she really shouldn't be, but throughout the book she will feel she isn't good enough for a lot and beats herself up and feels like she deserves guilt and doesn't deserve good things because of a situation she went through in the past.

Esther went up into the Appalachian Mountains to become a teacher, even though she is a trained midwife. There is a big family feud happening all around her once she arrives between the Tollivers and the Brookses and the Neffs and whoever else (I have Brooks and Neffs in my own family line so that was really weird to read about, but my family line never moved south of NJ. Okay, back to the bulk of this book).

The two cousins, Griff Tolliver and Zach Brooks, have made a pact of peace with their families, but something is still happening around them that is filled with hatred and vengeance. Esther has no idea what has happened, but she hopes that it will stop happening! Both of the cousins seem to have taken a liking to her as well, but she doesn't want to be in a relationship (though the actual reason why, I won't give away). Throughout this we also learn a little bit about Hannah, Zach's sister and Bethann, Griff's sister.

The whole story has some intense situations that might be a bit much for teens to read, even though this is a Christian Fiction story. I think it was really good though. I think I may have liked it more than the other two books in this series. Therefore, I give it a 3.5 star rating. Speaking of the series, this book does have the main characters from both book 1 and 2 show up! The story is about forgiveness and the love of God. It might make you tear up a slight as it did to me.
