This book was an amazing read. I didn't want it to end. I wanted to give it 5 stars, but there were formatting problems and editing and proofreading mistakes as well. As much as I wanted to, I just couldn't give the book 5 stars.

This book is about redemption. Greg Turney has been in prison for the last 6 years for a crime he never committed, his so-called friends framed him for their crime. The only crime he DID commit was being high and having a large amount of street drugs on him when he was arrested, which made it look like he had the intent to a deal drugs. Greg was so high when he was arrested, he didn't understand what he was being charged for until he was sentenced.

His children, Neal and Jeanie were left in the custody of their abusive, neglectful mother. She could hardly feed and take care of herself, let alone a 7 and 9 year old. Greg had been divorced from her for several years, but knowing his kids were suffering and that he was in no position to help them destroyed him. Greg begged his sister, Shannon, a high powered single attorney, to get custody of his children on behalf of their sakes and her brother's as well. Shannon works in a prestigious in a prestigious law firm in the city, she had no qualms about quitting, dropping everything, and moving elsewhere for her family.

Getting released early for his good behavior and devoting his life to G-D, Greg is more afraid now than he was when he first went to prison. He hasn't seen his kids in years, the only communication he's had with them is their weekly phone calls and the letters they've exchanged over the years. He's scared and excited to see them. He knows that it will be a long road to rebuilding a relationship with them again, and he owes it to his sister and her new husband.

The only thing he didn't expect were the hurdles he encounters. Finding a job, meeting a beautiful woman a not feeling good enough for her, and not knowing where you stand in your children's life. Are you now Uncle Greg because your sister's husband has been their "father" all these years??

This book is a MUST READ!!!

I was unaware that this book was a sequel. I tried quite a few times to get into it, but it just did not sit well with me. I did not know that it was Christian lit, and that is not my forte. For this reason, I have decided to not post a formal review on Facebook, as I cannot be the best judge for this book, and do not want to discourage anyone from reading it.
