This was a good book. At times it did seem like it was kind of drawn out but still enjoyable, none the less. June Bug was an interesting little lady with red hair. Her Dad loved her very much. It was sad at the end when she got to go home to her grandparents but sad that she was away from the only Daddy she had ever known. I will think about this book a long time to come. ( )

Excellent story, well written. ( )

June Bug has always loved her life on the road with her father. Travelling around in the RV she has gotten to see lots of interesting places. Sometimes she does long for a real house, and she really wants a dog, but her Daddy takes good care of her and helps her whenever she feels scared. But now she has a secret from him. She was in a Walmart and saw a picture of a girl on a missing child poster. A girl that looks just like her. What is her Daddy not telling her?
As this story plays out the reader encounters a smart and brave little girl (June Bug), a man with past secrets that he'd rather not dig up - but he has no choice (Johnson, her "father"), and a Grandmother who has never stopped praying, hoping and believing that her grandchild is out there somewhere - despite what the sheriff and everyone else seems to think.
This story drew me in from page one. As the reader, I knew something wasn't right about June Bug's situation with her father - but was he really her father? What secrets was he holding that he wasn't telling her about? The strange thing was that he seemed to really treat her well, not like a child abductor would. As the story unfolded I was rooting for June Bug to get what she wanted - a happy and stable home, and for the Grandmother to find her lost granddaughter, and for the Sheriff to put all the pieces together. There are many memorable characters that pop up along the was as June Bug and her father travel back to West Virginia to confront the past and set things right - a preacher who gives them a ride and some good advice, a family who gives them a wonderful memory at a swimming pool, and an old friend of Johnson's who provides just what they need to keep going. This was one of the best Christian Fiction books I've ever read. I highly recommend it. ( )
