Very different book from what I am used to reading but well written. The main character is interesting and not like any Christians I have known but I like her and admire her desire to be obedient to the call of God. It is real stuff with real people and difficult topics. The main character really steps up the the call of God on her life and makes for great reading. I am on the 2nd book in the series and have the 3rd waiting.
As Christian fiction goes, this was definitely well above average. While I admire the faith of the protagonist, Allison, I think most of us would logically see many of her actions as dangerous and irresponsible. But that is part of what made this such a good read is the contemplations you're left with.
I rarely give any book five stars ....This book was just really good fiction...Good subject, very well written and hard to put down...Had a great message. Loved it
