Cafe Lily's Review:
I thought this book was amazing even though it ended up having more of a suspense feel to it than I expected.
Typically I'm not a big fan of mysteries and suspense but this was such an interesting read that I could not put it down. The characters were easy to connect to and this book touched on a variety of topics.
While there are many issues being dealt with and various characters to keep up with, the book was easy to follow and flowed well.
My heart was broken for Amy and her daughter, and I felt myself pulling for them all the way through this book. I really liked how the author kept it real, when dealing with the church's attitude on homelessness and the impact running the shelter had on the congregation. It was portrayed as a very believable scenario.
I highly recommend this one!
