She has completely outdone herself with this book and I eagerly look forward to the next in the series.<br /><br />I will not go into any detail about the book so as not to ruin it for others who have not read the book. I will say that Alexander creates characters so real that the reader feels as if they know them, feels their pain and shares their joys. The events described in the book makes this reader feel as if she is there with Claire and Sutton when they experience such things as hiding clues for a treasure hunt, riding horses across the meadow, etc.<br /><br />What set this book apart for me was the fact that it deeply ministered to me during a time of a devastating emotional blow to my family. Just hours after this event, I picked the book up to begin reading where I'd left off, and a paragraph hit me that spoke directly to my pain. Then, several passages later, the same thing happened. Again this happened near the end of the book.Eestihttp://findingselfbelief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26185264.post-8366673239931085532012-01-03T05:23:28.944-08:002012-01-03T05:23:28.944-08:00I'm obviously reading this next since you PLAY...I'm obviously reading this next since you PLAYED THE MATT BOMER CARD. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.com
