My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

I have to admit, this book was the first Karen Kingsbury book I’ve ever read. And BOY, now I know why she’s a bestselling author!
She writes with so much emotion, with so many emotionally vibrant pictures, with such exquisite word choices! I was crying left and right—and I enjoyed it!
Very uplifting, hopeful book. It shows God’s grace and love practiced by fallen Christians during trying periods of life, through hard choices.
There are a LOT of characters in this book, and since I haven’t followed the Baxter series, I was a bit confused at times and couldn’t always remember who was who. But she does a good job giving subtle hints so I could figure it out within a few paragraphs.
People who have followed the Baxters will find it a very satisfying ending, pulling lots of story threads full circle. I thought she did a good job, considering how many characters and stories were involved in the series.
Overall, a very entertaining book, hard to put down. Kingsbury fans will love it, and it made a new Kingsbury fan out of me!

I love KK but I confess I have OD'd on her. I've taken a break, and now have some catching up to do with the Baxter family apparently. ALong with the bajillion other books I brought home with me from ACFW. Oh, except for yours of course, because when I got to the bookstore it was SOLD OUT. Blah.
