You will also find love, happiness, acceptance and hope. I really enjoyed this book! I eagerly awaited my time in the evening when I could sit down and read. I have always enjoyed Cindy Woodsmall, and this was no exception. I also loved that all three books were bound into one large book, just made the adventure all the more exciting. Woodsmall did a great job with character development. Not only were they diverse in person, they all had such unique stories. I loved seeing how she weaved all their stories together. I love how, while her books are always feel good and light hearted, she deals with real issues. The cast of characters is always so varied and intriguing. Great book, love adding it to my growing Woodsmall collection. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
