This sounds like a very good and interesting read... that question: "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?" is something that I and I'm sure many other people wonder about each day. It is a subjective question with many different answers, but it sounds like the author delivered a message and discussed this topic in a thoughtful and well-written way. This is a great review, well done!!
Oh love, never be afraid to fly :wink2:

The author set up a relatable situation. The story development is intriguing and Amanda's actions and thoughts lead the reader to sympathize with her situation. The book is YA fiction, but it is inspiring for readers of every age. Thanks for much for commenting!

The cover and title of this one caught my attention, and after your wonderful review I am still interested in it. This sounds like a realistic and uplifting read. I hope the kids end up giving the mom a chance, if she is really ready to be there for them. Thanks for your thoughts on this one.

The past could really influence the future, and yet it's easier to forget amidst the toils that the choices we make today will matter more in linking those two realms. Thank you for your honest review.
