I'm glad I read these three stories together. They pretty much need to be together. I really enjoyed the story of MaryAnne and David Parkin and I loved the character of Lawrence. Many of their life stories mirrored each other but it all shows how important it is to love your children and most importantly to BE There With Them! Give them your time! Perhaps these may be a bit too sappy for some but I loved them!
So here's an embarrassing anecdote!
I have been seeing this series all over my GR feed thanks to some friends who read it this Advent and gushed over it. Their enthusiasm was so infectious that I decided to add it to my Christmas reading list. Today, I finally checked the details of the book.
Guess what?
I have already read this trilogy.
