    A Must Read!

    If you have read any books by Francine Rivers but haven't read this one, you are definately missing out. This is an amazing book that will tear at your heartstrings and help you to realize just how much God is a part of our lives. Even though bad things happen to good people, God will turn it around and make something good out of it. In this book a horrific event becomes something magnificant and beautiful. Even if you have never read anything by Francine Rivers before, you will not be dissapointed with this book. You won't be able to put the book down and it will leave you feeling a sense of wonder and awe at the work that God can do. It is a wonderfully inspiring "inspirational fiction" book! Enjoy!

    I could hardly put this book down. It presented the emotions of a woman who finds herself pregnant after being raped so well, I found myself emotionally involved. Great reading and highly recommended.

From the Jacket

In one horrific, terrifying moment, Dynah Carey''s perfect life is shattered by rape, her future irrevocably altered by an unwanted pregnancy, her doting family torn apart.
