Review
This book has it all: love, betrayal, redemption. While the book focuses on all of the family members, I think the primary focus is on Claire which is what I would probably expect. She has been through a lot and it shows that when push comes to shove, women can overcome any obstacle facing them. This is appropriate since you will find the book in the inspirational/Christian section.
This book is very well written and I felt a variety of emotions which is what a good book will do. I like that the book is tied up in the end and nothing is left hanging. The book was also very well researched which is key especially when someone lives in that area.
We give this book 5 paws up!
