t is no secret that I relish being able to read an Alison Strobel book! Her latest book is certainly no different. I can vividly recall by half way through the fourth chapter I wanted to smack Marcus for his behaviour and attitude! Mind you, Amelia was at the receiving end of my readers wrath a few times too with her actions as well. You might be wondering if I actually enjoyed the book considering I had such a strong reaction to the characters. It's because of those strong reactions that I loved the book, and it's what propelled me through the book at lightning speed. \\r\\n\\r\\nWhen an author is able to inspire such strong emotional reactions from a reader I know it's good - even if the emotions are uncomfortable, difficult or frustrating. Alison has certainly made for evocative reading. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAmelia and Marcus are a young Christian couple trying to make ends meet, reach their dreams and be Godly spouses towards each other. That's not easy at the best of times, let alone what these guys go through. Even when I despaired at the decisions these two people make, I still liked them. By and large Marcus and Amelia have been shaped by their formative years with parents that have been less than stellar in their child rearing. They have made little room for God to change them and make them whole unto him. Of course it takes them a while to figure out they need God to shape them not their family. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book touched me deeply on many levels, most which are too…
