* I won a copy of this book via Goodreads Giveaways*
Unfortunately I was unable to get into the story. This is much more preachy and religious than I realized. The story also meanders, there doesn't feel like there's a solid storyline to it.

I felt that I should have read The Purchase before reading this book as I found that it had a lot going on it with all the stories for the characters that were entwined.
