review 1: REVIEWThis is the second book of a trilogy, but can be a stand alone. The first book was A NECESSARY HEARTBREAK, another great book. If you get the chance, read it first, since it will just add to the second book.The main character, Michael Stewart, wife was killed in an auto accident. He is in his 40's and raising his 14 year old daughter, Elizabeth. Michael is having a hard time dealing with his wife's death and a hard family history. With all that he is dealing with a normal teenager growing up. As we all know, they are still little girls but think they are all grown up.They have been giving their time at their church when they make an odd discovery. A tunnel that leads them to the past. 1st Century Jerusalem right before the death of Christ.Michael meets Leah a... morend falls in love with her.Michael goes once again into the tunnel with Elizabeth following him. She doesn't know that her father has already returned. Elizabeth is in 1st Century Jerusalem and Michael is in the present. Will they find each other as they fight their everyday battles? Or will they be lost forever?The author wrote a mix of faith, adventure, coming of age and mystery. I wanted to know more of this tunnel and how it existed. How was Michael going to get his daughter back or would he? Would the tunnel ever close between them?The author did a wonderful job of writing about Michael and his struggles with raising a daughter, losing a wife, falling in love with Leah and his faith. He's just a normal guy with the normal imperfections that we all have. That part makes it real. The rest of it, makes you use your imagination and you have to have an open mind. This isn't your typical religious read. It does have faith in it but it also is a journey into the long ago past. The book gives you the mystery of a tunnel and you, the reader get to go along the journey.I was given a complimentary copy of EVERYBODY"S DAUGHTER by Michael John Sullivan from The Story Plant for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
review 2: Take away all the biblical stories which are not my cup of tea to begin with, I just couldn't get into it. There was just too much jumping around and you spent most of the book waiting for him to find his deceased daughter and then poof, she just happens to live. This was a B&N Friday Freebie, you get what you pay for. I can't recommend this one though unless you're into semi nonfiction pieces based on bible stories. Potential was there to be a good story but it just failed. Too many characters, that just came in and disappeared without much warning. And you never find out what happens with him and his daughter once they make it back to present day. less
