I have read several books by Robin Jones Gunn and really enjoyed them which is why I was interested in this novel. I could really relate to Fern in this book because I also met my future husband and got married to him in my thirties. I really loved how she wrote prayers in journals and I may start doing that as well. This novel is one of those stories where even the secondary characters are my favorite. I cannot pick a favorite part of this book because I loved it all. I really loved that the book did not end when the trip to Africa ended but continued for a little bit so you could find out what more happened with Fern and Lily’s personal dilemmas. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone especially those who are not big into romance novels.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. The opinions in this review are my own.
