The Phillips/Pella team has a way of making their characters come to life for the reader. The storyline was very interesting and stirred my heart. I have read other Phillips' novels, and he always seems to be able to explain things of a Christian nature in ways that are understandable. I always learn a lesson after reading on of his books. Thank you Mr. Phillips! This is not an intense read, but it was lovely just the same. I am on to the next book in this series and can't wait to dig in to it! I recommend this book to anyone who would like a nice, low-keyed read. Very good!

Corrie kept excellent Christian values despite the hardships she faced. Corrie is courageous throughout. It is written so even younger readers can understand. The story line continues in the next in the series and they are both well written, without foul language nor graphic violence. A great alternative to contemporary fiction reading. I would recommend this book to any woman of any age for light, enjoyable reading.

I found this to be a very heartwarming story from start to finish. The interaction between characters too was very believable and moving. I grew up with the Little House on the Prairie series and the movie "Seven Alone" and this book reminded me of those cherished stories. I would highly recommend the book.

I've lost count of the number of people I've loaned this book to...and then they've been hooked on the entire series! Beautifully written and thought provoking. Written "clean" enough to share with young adults. HIGHLY recommended!
