“This book was very silly. The message of abortion is a serious one, with all the various ideas that go along with it, but the author chose some of the worst characters to portray it with. Repetitive devices like every female character in the story having had an abortion, and every male character having a twitching jaw makes for a difficult read, in the end.”

    “Wonderful, wonderful book! I enjoyed it soo much and finished it in not time at all! I was up way late in the night reading it!!! It was amazing to see how the terrible things that happened to Dynah worked out for the good of everyone in the story. And everything was so realistic...that sadly includes the treatment Dynah got from her so called "Christian" friends.
    Joe was amazing!!!”

    “This is another of Francine Rivers' life-changing stories. So good and definitely available in the used books at Amazon.com for reasonable and cheap prices. Just bought one to give away.”

    “You might also try amazon.com and check out the used books...I have gotten some books I really wanted for 1 cent plus shipping. I don't know about this one but it is a book that you might want to keep on hand to loan out to friends and family or donate to your church library as it is so very good. ”
