1st in the Seasons series. I really enjoyed the characters and the realistic experiences that each of the families are going through. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
What does a child's life-threatening illness cost the neighbors of Cedar Circle? What joys can be hidden in life's greatest tragedies? Behind brightly light windows and on front porches, marriages are tested and mended, hearts broken, hopes resurrected, dreams released and reformed, values and futures shaped, and faith rekindled...or found for the first time.
Taking the best and worst of human circumstances - the tender moments, the laughter, the tragedies, and the triumphs - Beverely LaHaye and Terri Blackstock weave from them a potgnant, warmly human novel. Gently uncovering the inner struggles, stresses, and joys that surface among neighbors living on a quiet cul-de-sac, the authors show us the power of ordinary lives being knit into a strong, many-textured fabric of family and friendships.
Sometimes the greatest joys in life can be uncovered during life\'s most difficult times... this book is well written and is a tender story of how a community handles the triumphs and tragedies of life. It takes you on an emotional ride with the endearing characters in the book.
