I read the whole series from the perspective a newly minted Christian trying to feed my soul. This book led me on two adventures. First, I love historical fiction and it did a good job of keeping me in the moment, second her faith was growing as the book and series progressed. I'm looking for my copies of the whole series because I'd like to encourage some of you to take this journey with me and the author.
I learned some important lessons on forgiveness from this series so it will always hold a place in my memory.
