Jan and Beth; could there be two more opposite characters? Mother Jan is a “play it safe” homebody, and daughter Beth is “full speed ahead” adventure seeker, but are they really that much different? When Beth stumbles upon a long hidden family secret the chaos that it causes reveals the persons they truly are: perfectly imperfect and in need of God’s guidance. In this Christian fiction novel I found myself chuckling a lot at the imperfect sides of their personalities because I could relate, and sad at their missed communications. Then there is Miles, the “has it all” funny English Lord whose own life isn’t that perfect. Each embarks on their personal journey towards the person God is calling them to be. (
