AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT is not the first book I’ve read by Suzanne Woods Fisher and it won’t be the last. She has a way of grabbing her readers and she never lets us go and now I’m kicking myself for not making time to read all of her books! AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT is the third book In the Three Sisters Island series. Camden Grayson thinks her father has lost his mind after he buys an island off the coast of Maine. It is the island where he met his wife, at a summer camp. His wife has passed away and he lets his three daughters know that he is selling the family home and moving to the island. All three sisters join him there and are shocked at the condition of the camp. It hasn’t been used for years and it is very neglected. All the sisters think this island camp is going to be a nightmare to renovate. Such a fun story!
Blaine Grayson returns home from cooking school with grand plans to open a fine dining establishment right in Moose Manor. She is the younger sister to two sometimes overbearing sisters Cam & Maddie. She has struggled to find her place not only in the family, but also in life. Unfortunately, she finds the kitchen has been remodeled for her by her father and sister as a surprise. Oh boy, some surprise!! It was nice to catch up with Cam and Maddie and their husbands and growing families. Now I don’t want to give away too many details, as I truly feel that AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT is a book you need to read for yourself to truly appreciate, but I definitely feel that Suzanne Woods Fisher saved the best for last in this series.
AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT is filled with forgiveness, family, and love and had me staying up way too late one night to finish! I had to know where Suzanne Woods Fisher was taking us and what would happen to this family. There is so much heart in Suzanne’s writing that I was left with a huge smile on my face and my heart very happy. All of the characters are very interesting and believable, so much so that I felt as if I’ve known them for a long time. Now I need to figure out how to fit more of Suzanne’s books into my reading plans! I can totally see AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT becoming a Hallmark movie that I would love to watch. I loved watching the sisters grow and come into their own. I have two sisters of my own and we used to fight like cats and dogs until one day, we didn’t. Haha if you have sisters you know what I mean. The secondary characters are just as important as the main family and you will come to love them all.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from CelebrateLit through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
I have enjoyed reading this series and getting to know the three sisters and watching them mature and evolve, along with the little town.
This story mostly focuses on Blaine returning to the island in hopes of opening a restaurant. She brings her friend Jean Paul who continues to have hilarious and unfortunate mishaps throughout the entire book. I liked reuniting with previous book characters like Peg and Captain Ed.
Of course with having three sisters they are bound to have family drama and miscommunication, but I like how they figure things out and eventually smooth things over.
This book also includes flashbacks when Blaine was younger which was interesting and helped readers understand the struggles she currently faced emotionally.
I really enjoyed the flow of the book and characters. It kept my interest from beginning to end. I definitely recommend reading these books in order.

At Lighthouse Point, by Suzanne Woods Fisher, wraps up this author's latest series, Three Sisters Island.
Blaine Grayson goes to France to follow her dream of becoming a chef. However, this plan does not come together as easily as she thought it would. When Blaine comes to the point of giving up, God brings a friend into her life who brings hope to help her move forward!
After completing training at Le Cordon Bleu, Blaine is finally returning home. When Blaine shows up at her father's camp, ready to share with her family all the changes the last two years have brought, she instead finds that her father and older sister, Cam, have taken it upon themselves to re-design the camp's kitchen. Everything about this new set-up is opposite of what a chef would need. Blaine must find a different place to use her new skills!
So much has changed on this quiet island in Maine. Some for the better; however, the locals are having a hard time adjusting. Another major change Baine encounters is that her best-friend Artie Lotosky is now the island's doctor, and Blaine feels that she does not know this man at all. Unknown to Blaine, an occurrence in their past has caused a breakdown in their friendship!
Watch and see if Blaine and Artie will be able mend their relationship as Blaine attempts to fit into this new and ever-changing world!
I received this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review.
Suzanne Woods Fisher takes us back to peaceful Three Sister Island in her latest release, At Lighthouse Point. Blaine, the youngest of the three sisters, has returned home upon graduation from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu and is ready to make her fine dining dreams for Camp Kicking Moose come true. She’s also ready to prove to her family that she has outgrown her baby-of-the-family identity, if only they can see it. But Three Sisters Island also changed while she was away; getting used to those changes is going to take some peace, some patience, and a whole lot of determination. While Blaine learned some valuable lessons in Paris, the Grayson family still has a lot to learn about themselves and about each other.
The Three Sisters Island series was new to me when I found At Lighthouse Point, but I am glad that I waited until I was able to read the first two books and really get to know the Grayson family before diving into the most recent release. Fisher has created a family that is truly lovable, flaws and all, as well as supporting characters with personalities as big as the frantic Atlantic. Although, At Lighthouse Point is written well enough that it could be read on its own, I recommend enjoying the entire series from your favorite spot on the beach, poolside, or in your hammock this summer.
Thank you to the author and the publisher for allowing me a copy to read and review. All opinions expressed here are my own and are completely genuine.
This is the third book in Fisher’s Three Sisters Island series. I hadn’t read the first two and had no trouble picking this up as a standalone. It did take me a little bit to find my bearings and get into the story but as it progressed, I found myself caught up in the characters’ lives and couldn’t wait to see what happened next. The talk of food had my mouth watering and I especially enjoyed the characters of Jean-Paul and, unexpectedly, the cat.
This is a quick, clean read that celebrates family, faith, and pushing through the hard stuff to come out better on the other side.
Thank you to Revell and NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
In “At Lighthouse Point” by Suzanne Woods Fischer, Blaine Grayson returns to the beautiful “Three Sisters Island” with a grandiose Camp Kicking Moose plan to remodel Moose Manor’s kitchen. Unfortunately, during her absence, her sister, a hopeless cook, did it and made a mess of it, too, at least in Blaine’s eyes. Added to that heart-rending blow, she is ignored by her former best friend, Dr. Artie Lotosky, now the Island’s resident doctor. As festering old wounds are painfully re-opened, Blaine must let go of an old dream to start living a new one, opening her heart up to a brand new purpose and a brilliant future, hitherto unimaginable. Suzanne Woods Fisher’s novel exhorts you to release what never really mattered, and cling to the bedrock strength of divine faith, love of family, and sterling friendships, which are all that really matter in the end.
Blaine Grayson returns to Three Sisters Island with a grand plan–to take Camp Kicking Moose to the next level. Her dream starts to unravel when she discovers Moose Manor’s kitchen has been badly remodeled by her sister, Cam, who doesn’t know how to cook. Added to that blow is the cold shoulder given by her best friend, Artie Lotosky, now a doctor to the unbridged Maine islands.
As old wounds are opened, Blaine starts to wonder if she made a mistake by coming home. Little by little, she must let go of one dream to discover a new one, opening her heart to a purpose and a future she had never imagined.
My Thoughts: Suzanne woods Fisher can really write a great story. This is a continuation of the Thre Sisters Island series. Wonderfully written, it draws the reader in and is hard to put down. This is a story of finding who you are and what your calling is; about going after your dreams. It's about forgiveness, and family. I enjoyed the story and found the characters to be very true to life, the things they went through, and how they dealt with the situations. This was a truly wonderful story. Even though this is the third book in the series, this novel can stand alone. This is one novel that you do not want to miss out on.
This book is part of the three Sisters Island series and although it can also be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the first two books because it will allow you to get to know Blaine’s family (and you’ll understand them better). This book is about the youngest sister in the Grayson family, Blaine and her struggles to find her place in the world and in her family. Ever since her mom died, she has found it really hard to connect with her sisters and she feels like a third wheel. After she graduated high school, she left for Paris, hoping to “find herself” and while she was there, she was able to study in a very prestigious cooking school and with the help of her best friend, Jean Paul, she discovered just how much God loved her. Finally ready to come home and help with her family’s camp, Blaine arrives back in Maine and is shocked at the condition of the camp’s kitchen. She starts to feel like coming home was a big mistake, but though the help of her family and friends, she discovers a new dream and see’s how God has guided her to this very point.
I have read all the books in the Three Sisters Island series and this one might just be my favorite! I love how relatable Blaine is and I really liked reading the flashbacks from her childhood. I also liked Jean Paul, Blaine’s French friend and how even though it’s not what his family wanted, he wanted to become a priest because it’s what God wanted. I’ll be honest, I started to tear up when I found out how he saved Blaine’s life and I absolutely love how he helped everyone by helping them stop and remember that God has everything under control. Overall, I loved everything about this book and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to read a contemporary romance story with a heart. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Special thanks to Suzanne Woods Fisher, Celebrate Lit, and Revell for allowing me to read and review this book — all opinions are my own
Three Sisters Island, state of Maine, New jersey.
Blaine comes home, after two years in Paris, learning cooking: a lot of things are different on the island:
her family, the Camp Kicking Moose, Peg diner, her friend Artie, ..
Will she be happy back home? What about her future?
these and other question popped in Blaine mind.
"You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."
It's a pleasure meet again Three Sisters Island characters, so friendly, realistic!
Thanks to let me read this book to: Author, Editor, Interview&Review, Netgalley.
A Sweet contemporary read my a new favorite author or mine. This book was such a quick read that I was able to finish it in a weekend.
My thoughts: this is a family drama / women's fiction, light on the romance, must read, beach read. I read it in less than 24 hours. I couldn't put it down. I do wish there were more romance included in the book, I am a hopeless romantic, but the way she set it up it works. It was great to keep up with the entire family and the French boy was a nice addition. I really love the story, the whole series really, and can't recommended enough. Make sure you include this book in your bag for your vacation this summer. I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
"Three Sisters Island is a special place because of the very things you call backward. On this island, time slows down. It gives folks a little space in their life to think and reflect, and to treasure how precious their life is. (Peg to Cam) ~pg 282"
It was with great anticipation that I read the last installment of the Three Sisters Island series by Suzanne Woods Fisher! I've been waiting so long for Blaine's story, she was the one I was really rooting for from the very start. Younger sister to two sometimes overbearing sisters Cam & Maddie, she has struggled to find her place not only in the family, but in life. When the author peeled those layers back that made Blaine who she was, oh my heart, it broke for her! I'm so glad that God sent her an angel in the form of her friend Jean-Paul from Paris. He was exactly what she needed at the lowest point of her life.
"Jean-Paul had given her the best gift in the world—he'd helped Blaine believe she was worthy of love, care, and respect."
Jean-Paul, how can I describe him? It's as if he was the very essence of what God is; loving, gentle, patient, encouraging, kind, but so much more too. It's as if he can see right to the heart of a person & know the exact things to say that make a difference. I think we all need our own Jean-Paul in our lives reminding us of the heart of God & His infinite love for us. What encouraged me the most as a reader & reminded me of a truth I need to practice more is this line here:
"We trust God to do his work. His work. His time. Our work ezz to pray...and release."
Let's not forget Artie, Blaine's long-time best friend & confidant....and the one she's been in love with forever. Something happened between them when she went to Paris and can't figure out what it is. When she comes back to Three Sisters Island two years after she left, the change in him is shocking. Not only is he a full fledged doctor for the Maine islands, but he has given her the cold shoulder. Of course you know I was rooting for them all along too, because in my mind, they belonged together! If only they would just stop to listen to each other, they could work out what went wrong & finally have the happily-ever-after that I wanted to see. It was frustratingly funny to watch these two....but that blissful sigh in the end was so worth it.
I hope you've had a chance to read all three of these books, because really, once you start you won't want to miss a minute of the Grayson family. They tend to get under your skin & embed themselves in your heart. Sure each book can stand alone, but I think a reader will have a richer, better understanding if they read from the first one. Each of these characters have to work through some tough things, but Fisher shows that through their faith & reliance on God, leaning on each other, and strong friendships they can overcome anything. Sometimes God takes our dreams, sifts them, and makes new ones even better than we can think or imagine! That is exactly what happened & I loved watching each one unfold and change.
"Most things work out in the end if you leave them in God's hands and don't try to meddle. 'Pray and release'”. (Jean-Paul) pg 284"
*I received a complimentary copy from Revell and was not obligated to leave a favorable review. *
There has to be another book so I can find out how things go for the whole family. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to jump right back into the lives of the residents at Three Sisters Island.
Blaine felt she had something to prove. In her opinion, her worth was based on her success in cooking. She as well as her sisters were driven to succeed. I wonder where that came from?
A new character in this book was Jean-Paul. He was a friend that Blaine met in France. He had the gifts of observing, listening and being straight forward in his advice. I wasn't totally surprised by the decision he made for his future.
Why do we feel that our worth is based on whether we succeed or fail at something?
Colossians 3:12-14
New International Version
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
As I read this story, I thought back to my early years. I was so focused on achieving a goal and to make others proud of me through my accomplishments. Sure, my accomplishments allowed me to support my family but I failed to realize that I was already worthy. My parents did not think more of me or loved me more because I graduated from college. GOD doesn't love me because I had a job. GOD loves me because I am one of his "chosen" people.
Each sister discovered that their worth had nothing to do with a cell tower, having a successful counseling practice or a restaurant. Their worth was in the relationships that they had with their family and the other residents in their community. GOD "binds them all together in perfect unity".
I received this book from Celebrate Lit to give a honest review.
Suzanne Woods Fisher has written another fabulous novel with At Lighthouse Point. I really enjoyed returning to the Three Sisters Island and meeting old friends. This book tells the story of the youngest sister: Blaine. After returning from Paris, she is eager to give the camp her father bought a better life by providing meals. But her sister, who manages the camp along with her father, has not renovated the kitchen properly and all Blaine seems to encounter is setback after setback. But even her best friend Artie is not the same as when she left for Paris. He's a doctor now, so he has his own pursuits. And then Jean-Paul, the man who came with her from Paris. Why is he eager to stay on the island?
The first sentence immediately set the tone of the story. Although I found it occasionally annoying to read Jean-Paul's accent in it every time, the story kept gripping me until the last page.The story flowed very well and the characters came off well.The faith portion was also well written. The cover also fit the story perfectly. A nice extra was the recipe from one of the many recipes Blaine uses in her kitchen. Suzanne has outdone herself in writing this novel. I look forward to reading more in this genre from her.
This book or series (Three Sisters Island) is intended for readers who enjoy contemporary romance. Those who like Irene Hannon, Denise Hunter or Nicole Deese will surely be able to appreciate this novel as well.
At Lighthouse Point by Suzanne Woods Fisher has Blaine Grayson returning home to Three Sisters Island after being gone for two years. She is ready to remodel the kitchen at Camp Kicking Moose so she can open a fine dining restaurant. All Blaine’s dreams fly out the window when she discovers the family did some updates without her. Blaine needs to find the right path for her with a little help from family, friends, and God. At Lighthouse Point is the 3rd Three Sisters Island Novel. I recommend reading this engaging series in order so you can get to know the characters and how they came to live on Three Sisters Island. We finally get Blaine’s story in this edition. I thought this story was well-written with developed, realistic characters. The story moved along at a good pace. The author provided vivid descriptions that allows the readers to visualize the scenes. I could not wait to read this book. I wanted Blaine’s story plus to see how this series would end. There were surprises for the whole family in this story. This is a Christian story with Scripture quotes, but it is never preachy or overbearing. The most important take away for me was to pray and let go. We need to leave our worries in God’s hands. I liked the flashbacks into Blaine’s life. We get to see important moments in her life that shaped her. We get to catch up with Paul, Cam, Maddie, and Cooper. I liked the addition of Jean-Paul, Blaine’s Parisian friend, and Walter Grayson, Paul’s father. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout the story (some of the antics will have you laughing out loud). Blaine cooked some wonderful dishes. The food descriptions will have your mouth watering. At Lighthouse Points is a story about family, friendship, and faith. I will miss Three Sisters Island and the Grayson family. At Lighthouse Point is a heartwarming tale with squabbling sisters, a crazy kitchen, a battered boyfriend, baby bonanza, a cell tower conundrum, God’s goodness, and campground chaos.
Ever since I read the first book in Suzanne Woods Fisher’s Three Sisters Island series, I was hooked. I was introduced to the Grayson family back in 2019, and to the quirky residents who lived on the island Paul Grayson purchased and renamed Three Sisters Island after his three daughters. Since then, I had to wait patiently for the next book to release (one a year). Each book in the series focused on a specific daughter, and At Lighthouse Point was no exception.
As the third book, At Lighthouse Point focused on the youngest daughter, Blaine Grayson. Blaine was a sort of drifter in the way that she wouldn’t see something through before dropping it and starting something new. The one constant though, was her love of cooking. And she cooked amazingly well. This story followed Blaine as she returned from France as a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu cooking school and showed the struggles that awaited her, especially as the youngest Grayson.
I loved how the author showed Blaine’s internal struggle, and how Blaine had a Scripture at the ready knowing this would happen. Such a simple thing that many of us forget to do: Before reacting, take a breath, bring a specific Scripture to mind, then do the right thing. Throughout the book, Blaine kept certain things hidden from her family, but Peg Legg was always there asking the right questions, offering an understanding that Blaine needed at that time.
There were also other characters on set who were necessary for this story, and I felt that they were used well. Jean-Paul was a wonderful addition, and I loved the struggle between Blaine and her best friend Artie (not a new character, but we get to see a lot more of him).
The main theme of the entire series seemed to focus on dreams, and though Blaine realized her dream a little later in the game, when she found it, she worked hard for it.
None of the Graysons were ever untouched in the series, which I appreciated. Though the main focus was on one of the daughters, each Grayson (and any addition to the family at that time) had something they needed to work through. It was a melody with perfect harmonies. At Lighthouse Point had its fair share of this, and I felt it made the story whole.
Though I’m sad to say goodbye to the Grayson family, I would happily read any contemporary fiction Suzanne Woods Fisher writes next. If you love contemporary fiction with a family who is broken but loving, quirky characters, and a beautiful Christian message, then this book is one to pick up.
This is book 3 of the Three Sister Island series, a Contemporary Christian read and the last of the series. This book covers the story of the third and final sister Blaine Grayson along with the other sisters from the other 2 books. When Blaine returns to Three Sister Island after being in Paris for 2 years learning her cooking skills, she comes back to not what she expected. Her dream of returning and opening an exquisite restaurant at her father's camping area, is turned upside down. Everything is all wrong and her sisters and father, just will not understand, along with her feelings hurt, she has not way of telling them of the hurt. She goes along and tries to find what to do next in life, when her friend from Paris comes with her, he is very helpful in a way she is not expecting. How will she make her dream happen? Can she find love for the Island that she left years ago? What about the past and the loved ones she left? It all depends on what Blaine will decide to do.
If you like Hallmark movies then this book is for you. It is very real and at times will make you laugh. It leaves you cheering for each of the sisters to find happiness. This is book 3 but can be read as a stand alone as each book is the story tells of one of the sisters. If you read them in order you will get more of a feeling of what they have been through. If you only read this one, you will want to go back and read the others, however, if you don't read in order you will know the ending of the other books. I loved this series and didn't want it to end... maybe there will be a book 4... just don't end it, please.

This is the third book in the Three Sisters Island Series set in Maine. Blaine Grayson returns home from cooking school with grand plans to open a fine dining establishment right in Moose Manor. Unfortunately, she finds the kitchen has been remodeled for her by her father and sister as a surprise.. Although it is beautiful, it is not functional as a commercial kitchen. Trying to hide her dismay and faced with a major change to her career plans, Blaine is lost as what to do next. On top of that, her best friend Artie is ignoring her.
This is a great Christian family book about changed plans and looking to God for answers. Communication is also a major theme in this book as family members struggle with some hard feelings and long held secrets. This is another delightful visit with the Grayson family.
I received a free copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and my opinions are my own.
The adventure at Three Sisters Island continues as readers experience the long-awaited arrival of the youngest sibling, Blaine Grayson, who has returned from Paris, where she trained at Le Cordon Blue cooking school. She has had a long time to dream about showing off her creative cooking skills for Camp Kicking Moose attendees. Blaine’s dreams are quickly shattered after her father and sister Cam whisk her into the newly remodeled kitchen at Moose Manor. They were tickled pink at what they had accomplished in her absence. Blaine is speechless. They never consulted her about the renovation. Oh, it was a beautiful kitchen, but it was not practical and/or functional to serve the masses. Blaine was hurt. She could not accomplish what she wanted with this limited kitchen. She realizes her family does not see her as the experienced Chef she has become.
Blaine returns with a friend in tote, Jean-Paul. I tell you what this guy made me laugh out loud and other times had me stop and think. He was such a delightful character in the mix of things. He describes to Blaine how to tell a person is a Chef, “True Chef’s cook only with their heart…If not with the heart, one should not cook at all.” He says that Blaine cooks with her heart.
Cam runs into major resistance to change (as usual) on the Island as no one wants a cell tower even though she has figured out how to make it work. Both Cam and her father are going crazy trying to get everything ready for the holiday season at Three Sister Island, which included bringing the Island up to speed with modern conveniences. They are getting the message from the locals that they should slow down and appreciate all they did have and not on what they did not. Cam and her father Paul are starting to listen.
It felt like everyone was home and interacting as usual with the main story line featuring Blaine and Artie Lotosky. It was fun to see how each family member was dealing with something, I felt part of this family, experiencing with them the highs, lows, and everything in between. I liked dreaming with Blaine about a restaurant, and how Artic was a doctor everyone could count on. It was fun to learn that Artie’s role was based on a real roving doctor. She says she was inspired by, …”the Marine Seacoast Mission, founded in 1905 by two Congregational ministers to serve the communities in Marine’s unbridged islands….Such a remarkable way to keep isolated locals cared for and in community.”
I loved the natural spiritual thread throughout this whole series. I also enjoyed what Jean-Paul had to say. He looks at Blaine, “God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.” He continues, “dissatisfaction…“It’s a gift. It is an invitation. To a new and better dream.”…”Dissatisfaction ..it may not be calling you to go someplace or to something different. It maybe an invitation to something new right her and right now.”
The whole family is looking after Jean-Paul. He shares his thought and insights. Most feel he was correct when he said, “Most things worked out in the end if you leave them in God’s hands and don’t try to meddle. “Pray and Release.”
The author had so many fun surprises for readers. This is a wonderful escape with a family I cared about to a destination I would love to visit someday, with a very satisfying ending to a wonderful series. It left me wanting more! This is a delightful fun read and one that would work well for your next book club pick as the author includes discussion questions and a pretty yummy sounding brownie recipe to make and bring to your meeting. If you have not read a book by this author, I highly recommend this series.

I have waited for awhile for this book to come out. The journey that this series has provided has been filled with joy, obstacles, surprises and a family that surrounds each other with love. I decided in order to do justice to this series I needed a refresher. I went back and reread the previous story so I could escape once again into the world where lighthouses are prominent on an island full of hope.
As I write my final review of this series I feel emotional saying goodbye to my friends. The author has written a saga that allowed me to be part of a family who instilled in me the importance of following your dreams. They may stumble along the way but with God’s help they find their destiny. Now I was a little unsure about the man that Blaine brought hone from Paris. He irritated me somewhat until the moment I read what he had done for Blaine. Oh readers don’t miss this part in the story. It captures the pure unconditional love a person has for others. “God will never give up on you even if you give up on Him.” Those words spoken by a stranger to Blaine pierce her heart in a way that made her start to heal from her sorrow and pain. It was one of the most emotional sections of the book that defines the road to freedom.
I am one of those people who don’t like change. I like my little place in the world that may be boring to some but it is familiar and comfortable to me. The island is experiencing growing pains which some don’t care for. It was interesting to see how the town would take to technology coming in and perhaps new businesses popping up. With this change is the core group of townspeople who like things to stay just the way it always has been. The author shows us what it is like to allow change so we can grow and become more like minded.
I adore lighthouses and even have a collection of them in a curio cabinet. Each one is special because it reminds me of new beginnings. I couldn’t wait to see what Blaine has in store for the lighthouse on the island. It sat lonely for years crying for someone to bring it back to life. I loved the history behind lighthouses and appreciate the author’s research on them.
As the series closes the author demonstrates the importance of forgiving and trusting. This family has been through a lot but they have come to understand that they need each other as they seek new adventures, celebrate life and watch dreams come true. It is never to late to have a relationship with God and allow Him to soften your heart and find unconditional love.
“Most things work out in the end if you leave them in God’s hands and don’t meddle.”
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
