Thoroughly enjoyed this story about a young woman who, after being left at the alter by her fiance, takes a trip to Peru on a 10-day humanitarian mission to work in a children's orphanage. The only disappointment in this book is that it ended too soon!
I really enjoyed this book. It was very uplifting! It's a story about love, healing, and helping others - especially children. It's a very beautiful love story!
Another great book by Richard Paul Evans. This book takes the reader to Peru, to an orphanage, and into the jungle, to see Machu Pichu, and on other adventures. Love, disappointment, adventure, and decisions are all encnaptured in the story Richard Paul Evans writes about Paul, the doctor from the U.S., and one of the groups that visits Peru on a travel mission trip. Christine is a part of the group; a part of the story, too. A well-written story of a humanitarian mission in Peru.
I enjoyed the settings of the book. I liked the details about Peru and the orphanage. The details really took me there. The love story itself was typical. I enjoyed The Looking Glass more.
Love this book. About a Dr. healing from the loss of his patients and a women healing from losing what she thought was her true love. How they met in the jungles of Peru and the changes they would make because of that meeting, and thier work together to save the street children in Peru.
