Welcome to Litsy!

Wish there was an option between "pick" and "so-so." I'd give this a B. I didn't realize it was explicitly Christian fiction, which has its pros and cons. I thought the author did a good job portraying family dynamics, and the main message was inspiring. However, some of the subplots were kind of predictable, and the writing at points is a bit cliche (not that I could do better, mind you). Set in Chicago/IN, some may appreciate refs to real places

Winter break reading arrived! This was recommended to me by one of our literature professors in response to my query about fiction addressing both death and forgiveness. The Dalek was crocheted by a student and (I assume) will have no relation to the storyline :-p
