A book that goes to a depressing place quick and the reader is stuck there for most of the book. With mental illness, lost career goals and a move away from home, this book is chocked full of hard issues that are confronted head on.
Amelia is new to the Christian faith and married to Marcus who has his dreams wrapped around following in his father's footsteps to be a pastor of a church. They both come from backgrounds that didn't have the best role models to learn how adulthood should be. It made it interesting to see how each reacted to becoming an adult and overcoming the obstacles that come with responsibility. A Christian fiction work that wasn't all rainbows and perfection, with real life problems that couldn't just be prayed away - I liked that there was realism in Christian fiction.
This book isn't for the faint of heart. I would only recommend it to readers who are ok to go to a sad place and don't mind a read that is heartbreaking and devastating.
