The words of his will rang in her ears: "In the event of my granddaughter’s death, everything will go to Vince Jeffers." Jeffers watched her with an evil look that made her shiver.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful encouragement!, April 17, 2001

By A Customer

Lori Wick is my favourite Christian author, and this my favourite book of hers! When a friend lent it to me, I couldn't stop until I owned the whole series myself! The first time I read this book, I too thought the relationships the characters had with God to be unrealistic but beautiful! From reading many more books and becoming closer to God myself, I know that this type of relationship is totally possible! This book is encouraging in all areas of christian living, and a lovely read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this heartwarming and charming story of love, December 5, 1998

By A Customer

I first read this book when I was about 13 years old, from the first chapter I was totally hooked. This was a very heartwarming story full of love, romance, family, humor, and suspense. I've read many books, but A Place Called Home is by far the very best I have ever read. It really touched me. It's the kind of book you just can't put down and when your finished you can read again and again. This book will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Lori Wick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 19, 1998

By A Customer

This is Lori Wick's first book and she has just gotten better! This book is a simple love story between a man and a woman and - GOD! Lori Wick knows how to write a romance that is God-centered. She is my favorite author-I have all 18 of her books.
