Adventure, Romance, God's Plan and forgiveness
Romance, Inspiration, God's plans working out and adventure all in one book. Forgiveness in so many aspects of life also. This is a book you won't be able to lay down.
One can see God working all throughout the pages. He brings Maddy Mercer and Jeremiah together in a way that only he can. How God talks to Phillip and uses him as part of his plan in unique.
As a person who God brough my husband from Kansas to Illinois for me, and we've been married 30 plus years now, I loved this a lot.
I know first hand how God can work to accomplish his plan.
God's protection upon Maddy is another avenue I enjoyed imensely.
The story of Lorraine and Pearl and eventually forgiveness of Lorraine's parents by Maddy is a true love story from God.
One feels like they are back in the West during Gold discovery days and seeing God at work in a way one wouldn't think about.
Sometimes others can become more family than those of your immediate family - like Phillip becoming like a Grandfather to Maddy and little Pearl.
Highly recommend.
