review 1: Very clean entertaining christian story. The story focuses mostly on gaining acceptance for Jake's nieces, who are mostly native american, not on the relationship between the new couple or their adopted daughters. Elizabeth's troubles are lightly touched upon. The pain of losing her infant and husband is only nodded at. The guilt she carries for not having loved her spouse is explored a bit more. Jake is just a shadow in the background even though he's the hero. I left the book not know much about him other than he loved his nieces and wife. The main villain is not as evil as we think in the beginning, but bad enough to garner a great deal of animosity. Side characters are likable. While this book is enjoyable, I would have liked to know a everyone a lot more.All... more read
review 2: There were a lot of modern sensibilities throughout, but it was still solidly written. I appreciated Elizabeth's difficulty in getting through her grief at the loss of her husband and child and the bad guys (her husband, the town harpy) were layered and not totally evil. No easy solutions to the problems presented, but there were hopeful ones appropriate for the time and season. I really liked it, and Krissy, I think you will too.I'm really surprised at how much I enjoy the Love Inspired series. They seem to be consistently good, even across authors, which I've not found in other lines. less
