I have read all of the books Karen Kingsbury has written about the Baxter Family. John comes to a decision about his relationship with Elaine. Ashley tries to keep the family happy and together. Katy and Dayne struggle with their seperation. Luke and Reagan try to keep their marriage together. All of other Baxters (and some of the Flannigans) are featured. An excellent book for everyone one, but especially for Kingsbury fans. The story of the Baxters is winding to a close. Karen Kingsbury has made the entire family seem real to us. The only bad news: Only one book remaining for those of us who love the Baxters!

I read a lot of books, and have read everything including most of the classics. Also, loving Karen Kingsbury I read this book with a clear understanding of what the themes were. This book is brilliant - nothing else comes close. The inclusion of religion and how it impacts on the characters lives is sheer brilliance! Highly Recommend!!! I'd also recommend reading K. G. Glaub's novel-- Circe's Song --if you haven't yet!!

Other recommended titles: Circe's Song

I've figured out something about Karen Kingsbury's storytelling skill. She is a master in foreshadowing. As I read Someday, I fell into that page turning trance that I tend to suffer from when opening one of her novels. With each chapter, I know something is going to happen that will rock the world of the characters and I somehow want to get to them to warn them, help them avoid it, because I've seen what Karen lets happen within the pages of her novels, and I know this isn't going to be good. Okay, yes, on one hand it's great because her characters grow and change...but the process. Aye-Yi-Yi!

Karen Kingsbury writes reality. I have a tendency, when life is really good, to look over my shoulder wondering if something lurks. Kingsbury incorporates that sense of impending upheaval into her books. My oldest daughter can't sit and read Kingsbury. She has to get up and pace on occasion.

If you haven't read her, and you like to be on the emotional edge of your seat....you might want to look into her. Blessedly she adds much hope to her stories and then pours on some grace. Someday is a tense continuation of the Baxter family saga. If you love the characters you will go for quite a ride.

As usual, this book was FANTASTIC! I always have a real serious letdown when I finish one of Karen's books and there isn't another one ready to pick up. She's one great Christian writer and I only wish she could turn them out faster.

Karen Kingsbury has done her usual exceptionally awesome job of writing with this book. She manages to spin a story line that keeps the reader on the edge of his/her seat for awhile, then that resolves itself. I am looking forward to her next book to find what happens to one couple who seemed to be left hanging in this book. I'll be the first in line to buy Sunset! I just can't say enough about how much I enjoy Karen's books and the new perspectives they have given me on some controversial issues. They have also helped me to have a breater insight into the trials and failures Christians face and how God can use these situations for His glory. Everyone should read this book (and the other books in this series. Personally, I think everyone should read ALL of Karen's books, but I AM a little biased, as she is my favorite author!

As always Karen Kingsbury brings great writing into our lives. The Baxter family has become a part of lots of people's lives. The solution of Katy and Dayne's problems with prayer and understanding is powerful. The entering of a new love into Mr. Baxter's life is proof that even tho we have lost a life partner, we can still find happiness with a future partner. Luke and his family are embarking on a new understanding relationship.
Ashley and her family are moving on after losing a precious daughter. Karen deals with reality in relationships and reminds that, after all, God is still in charge and trust in Him will keep us all in good hands.

As usual, Karen has met every expectation I had for her latest book in the Sunrise Series. I feel I know the Baxter family so well and their experiences touch so many areas of my own life. The only problem is, I have to wait so long for the next installment. Being a senior, John and Elaine's relationship is much more understandable, than it could be for my daughter, who reads each book, as soon as I finish it. But her experiences with infertility, adoption, and a special needs child are all realistically addressed. The way Karen portrays Katy & Dayne's struggle with the paparazzi has confirmed my view of the tabloids at the grocery checkout. I shudder at the exploitation of so many stars and wouldn't spend a dime to read any of them.

Excellent Book as are all her books. I can hardly wait for the 4th in this series. I will miss the Baxter family when the series ends.
Perhpas whe will find a way to continue with the family . there are so many choices with the many children in the family.

I like the way she brings in her readers as charcters in some of the books. you feel like they are your neighbors. It certainly doesn't always come out the way I thought or hoped it would which makes it very interesting.
Excellent reading for all ages.

I usually keep the whole set together and then pass it on to a friend in a nursing home so she doesn't have to wait months in beween publishing.
They then go into the Nursing home library.

What can you say new about a Karen Kingsbury book? Once again she delivers a wonderful, thoughtful and poignant read. The only problem that I have with the book is that it is almost the end of the series. There will only be one more book in this series.

Again this book wasn't a disappointment in that it brought the reader into the story so that it felt like you were a part of the story-line. It was hard to put down and at the end...you didn't want it to be finished.
