Splashdown Books (July 1, 2010) I must start by saying that although Faith Awakened, Grace’s first novel, was a book that appealed to my tastes, this is a very different book. Grace is a talented writer but this particular book was difficult for me to get into. Please remember however that my opinion is purely [...]
