Book Review of The Brethren (Annie's People, Bk 3)

The Brethren (Annie's People, Bk 3)
reviewed on

Even though Essie is holding fast to her newfound faith, she also seems to be holding her breath about Zeke. We all are, really. Because what one person may be found guilty of affects us all.

Despite Ben's departure, my life has not returned to normal. Truth be known, my dreams of Ben keep me awake long into the night. Daydreams distrat me, too.

Still, I try to remember what the Good Book says, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted...."
