The first book in Karen Kingsbury's Baxter Family series will certainly have you wanting to read all the others back-to-back! I have never highlighted or made notes in a Fiction book before, but Karen's writing filled with encouraging words, scripture and life lessons makes all of her books go-to guides for years to come. This first book introduces you to the members of the Baxter Family and all their struggles, focusing mostly on Kari Baxter who has just learned her husband is having an affair. Despite advice from family, friends and a long-lost love, Kari decides to try and make the marriage work and forgive her husband. Such a testimony of family and the healing powers of forgiveness.

I love this book! I couldn't put it down and can see my self retreading this in the future and the rest of the series! Definitely a huge fan!

I love this book, the characters and the story was amazing. I couldn't put it down. Karen Kingsbury has become one of my favorite Christian authors. I love how she applies scripture and relationship with God in her story. I'll be starting book 2 in this series tonight...I can't wait.
