Rating:  Summary: Awesome! Moving story. Review: This book is about an airline pilot, Connor, who seems to have it all, but then a secret from the past comes back to confront him. Connor and his wife, then struggle to put together their marriage, and has a very important decision to make.Kingsbury is not afraid to deal with difficult issues. In this case, she writes about Connor's one-night stand and about the son that results from that. The feelings that Michelle felt upon finding out came out so good in this book--the anger and the hurt. The book deals a lot with forgiveness. Michelle ends up forgiving, but also, she puts a child's welfare ahead of her own hurt feelings and makes a big sacrifice for her husband, which I really admire her for. And she falls in love with the boy, too. And Kingsbury does a great job of promoting the idea that the marriage relationship is such a significant relationship. I love Karen Kingsbury. She is one of my favorite authors. I hope to read more books by her.

Rating:  Summary: Couldn't put it down Review: This book is very heartwarming and inspirational. As with all Karen Kingsbury books, you come to have a deeper understanding of the far reaching consequences of wrong choices and then ultimately the peace and joy that come when a person makes the right choices for their life. I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of Ocean's Apart from Karen and Zondervan. When I finished I was ready for another KK book. I called my local Christian bookstore, located in a large church, to ask if they had a copy of the latest release in the fantastic Redemption series. The clerk said "yes, and others had been asking" but she wasn't familiar with Karen's books and wanted to know if they were really good. I brought her my copy of Ocean's Apart and apparently she loved it because the next time I went into the store, I saw 15 copies stacked under a poster announcing their book club. Ocean's Apart was chosen as their "Book of the Month" for the Club. I can't wait for the book club meeting at the end of this month.

Rating:  Summary: An Amazing Story Review: This story blended so many aspects: lovable characters, realistic situations, questions of faith and its place in life, and forgiveness. What amazes me is that they were all blended successfully without any compromising. This is the first book I've read from this author, and I am excited about reading more. It's refreshing to see that romance doesn't always have to equate with a loss of morals.
Rating:  Summary: What if?? Review: This was such a good book. It drew you in and made you care about all the characters.
Rating:  Summary: An Incredibly Real Story! Review: This was the second book that I have read by Karen Kingsbury, and I gladly admit that she is the best writer when it comes to real life issues. My husband laughed when I cried endlessly while reading this (he hates reading ficiton), but little did he know how incredibly real it seemed. Somehow Kingsbury always creates such unending depth in her characters and their stories, that I can't but stand in awe of the gift God has given her for writing. What an incredible ministry. Thank you Karen Kingsbury.
