Book Description:
Police chief Joseph North has been estranged from his brother, David, ever since David stole Sarah, the girl Joseph loved. When David is seriously injured in a car accident, Joseph is drawn back into their lives and that of his niece, Eden. David and Sarah adopted Eden when she was a baby, but Sarah has always had a difficult time connecting with her daughter. Joseph's life is also complicated by a mysterious woman named Miranda.

Nichols uses her considerable talent (At the Scent of Water; Not a Sparrow Falls) to create a complex portrait of a family in turmoil, incorporating rich characterizations and a skillfully woven plot. This title may have crossover appeal for readers of Anne Tyler.

I would give this book 5 STARS. I LOVED it.
Linda Nichols reminds me of FRANCINE RIVERS writtings.They are just a good and the message in her books are POWERFUL. This is Linda Nichols 4th book and it is amazing. I fell in love with EDEN and I could relate to many of the characters in her story. I appreciated the Discussion Questions at the end of the book. It made you take the book deeper. The truths of this book causes me to go to the word of God and search my own heart. I loved that about this book.

A story about a woman's search for the daughter she gave up for adoption, a search that takes her into her mother's past, and her own, as well, to find the answers she seeks. And a solution that is closer to she knows...

Very well written! Highly recommended! Each of book is better than the last!

This is an incredibly written, moving story. The characters come to life and the spiritual message is very meaningful.

The first half of this book has very long descriptions (wordy. Still glad I read it, the second half was worth it.

Very good story. Characters really come to life and by 1/3 way through this book you feel as if you know each of them.
There are parts that come together in a way that doesn't quite seem plausable to me but then again it's just a novel and I'm no writer so I can't really criticize.

This book is a must read. Not usually the type of books I read, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. It starts out a little slow, but takes some unexpected turns. Once it gets going you can't put it down. Be sure to have tissues in hand when reading it.

The first book of Linda Nichols I have read but it won't be the last. The character's were real and flawed just like the rest of us. The spiritual message was simple but profound, of God's grace and forgiveness.

Another great Linda Nichols book - her characters are so real and likable. Her stories are always encouraging and inspiring. Very interesting story that I found difficult to put down!

This is the first book I read by Linda Nichols. After reading it, I got all of her books, read them, and passed them on to my (adult) daughter.
This is not "light" Christian romance or what I call "Christian soap opera." It deals with some very heavy subjects. For young readers, you might want to preread it for mature content. The content is handled tastefully and well. However, some youngsters may not be ready to deal with the issues that are presented.
