“I borrowed this while babysitting for a friend, and read it in one evening. It's a strange book. Peretti isn't the greatest writer, and most of his books do well because they're exciting and well-crafted plots. This one is isn't. It's about someone who has managed to block out something she did nine years ago, and at last finds a way of moving forward with forgiveness. It's about loneliness, and family life, and love... yet the characters are oddly flat, and the important part of the book is a lengthy dream sequence.

There are odd plot inconsistencies too, which, if I spelled them out, would give the plot away entirely - for there was a twist which I wasn't expecting, towards the end.
I suppose it's not a bad book, but I really don't know what age-group it would be suitable for. The length and reading level is that of early chapter books, usually intended for children aged around 6-9 (depending on reading fluency). But the content is more suited to older teens - and even then, not entirely relevant since the bizarre situation which is eventually uncovered makes no sense at all. In addition, the Christian content is quite strong, which is likely to be offputting to those outside Christian circles.
Not a bad book, I suppose; it gives a message of sorts. But not one I expect to be reading again. ”“Not at all what you expect from Peretti but a wonderful book.”

“Story of forgiveness after an abortion. It seemed a little simplistic to me, however I have not had to deal with this issue. ”
