Revell (May 1, 2009)
Once again Julie has shown her skill at capturing the reader’s imagination and bringing the past to life in all it’s myriad colors and shapes. As I suspected this book has become my favorite in this series probably because Lizzie reminds me of myself in so many ways including having her nose in a book nearly every moment. Brady despite his confident words and exterior still struggles with feeling unworthy of love both from people and God. Regardless of the past Lizzie forges ahead to prove her love for Brady and that with God, love can overcome any obstacle of our past choices despite their depth and span in our minds and emotions. Will his faith and her love finally combine in a marriage that God has orchestrated for them both since before they ever existed? Can Brady come to the point of believing in himself enough to pursue the one woman whose absence leaves a unique hole in his heart only she can satisfy? (ISBN#9780800732134, 480pp, $13.99)

Oh my goodness!!! I love this book!! It is AMAZING!!! There are so many twists and turns – and so much romance and passion – and the HUMOR!! – OH MY GOODNESS!!! You will laugh, cry (or bawl in my case), grieve, love, and just basically LIVE LIFE with these characters!!! Julie Lessman is my new all-time favorite author, and all 3 of her books in the Daughters of Boston series are MUST HAVE’S for any Christian fiction lover’s shelf!! I will definitely be reading them over and over!!! Trust me!!! You will not be disappointed!!! And a side note – I am also BLOWN AWAY by Julie herself!! She not only an author who takes the time to actually READ her fan emails – but she actually RESPONDS to them…usually right away (like in the same day – sometimes the same hour!!) She GENUINELY CARES and LOVES her readers!!!! She is truly a cut above the rest!!!!! ïŠ
