My Thoughts:

This was a wonderful heartwarming story. I had a hard time putting this story down.

I really loved this story and the characters. This is the first time I have ever read any of this author’s books.

Miriam is a person who anyone would love to have as a friend. She is loyal, kind, unselfish, and very humble. Most of all she knows herself and her heart. Miriam is true to herself and her friends. Even though she has some inter conflict she knows that God is in control and trusts her life to Him.

Junior at first he irritated me and I wasn’t very fond of him. Then I seen his character and his heart and won me out. The responsibility that he took on for his siblings after his parents died was unselfish. After all he has done for his family and the sacrifices he made he was at a point in his life that he could focus on his needs and future.

All the characters in this story were interesting and I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

Litfuse Publicity Group has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. In no way was I asked to give a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
