This book was simply GREAT! The author allowed the Holy Spirit to use her to deal with real life issues. The storyline was someone's true story, these things happen everyday unfortunately, but it's nothing like the saving grace of God. This was my first time reading this authors book and I'm glappy(glad & happy) I did. Kudos Mrs. Jackson!

Especially since like the main character I've asked the same question

I am not much of a Christian fiction lover and definitely not a romance kind of person, but this book's title drew me in. Especially since like the main character I've asked the same question. Fayth/Angelica has spent so many years living a life that wasn't hers. What was meant for her, she couldn't see or appreciate because she was programmed to believe differently. This character was very relatable and also very annoying. She endured and worked through her conflict through out the entire book. The story didn't drag but had some repetitive content in parts. I found the book easy to read because the chapters were short, the font size large and the centering of text on the page was different than usual. More like vertically justified on most pages. For me, these details stood out. I would have liked to have had more background on Jasion but the story wasn't about him. The story was about forgiveness. Moving forward. Accepting God's plan and trusting and believing in yourself. Good read, I give it 4 stars.
