Tina Hoover5 Stars Out Of 5Forgiveness is HardMarch 10, 2018Tina HooverQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I was SO moved by this book. I'm not a teary person, but I cried 5 times, while reading this book. I also stayed up all night reading it, because the content was so compelling.
Max is 7 years old, he has the perfect life with his mom Kiahna, who is a stewardess and his best friend in the whole world, Buddy, his dog. His mother's and his friend Raimey who has looked after Max, for his whole life. Raimey is an older lady with complicated health issues. Everything was perfect, until one day, Max's mommy didn't come home.
Raimey took care of him and Buddy, as Raimey notified Kiahna's attorney that she was dead. Raimey found that Kiahna's will stipulated that Max spend two weeks with his biological father, before he be put up for adoption. Max has never heard of, or seen his father. It has always just been him and mommy; with Raimey helping out some.
Kiahna and Conner met at an airport in Honolulu, when Conner, a commercial airline pilot gets stranded at the airport, when a hurricane is blowing around. One thing led to another, after a series of misunderstandings and the following day, Conner flew home to his family.
Kiahna & Max lived in their own, special little world. It devastated everyone around Max, because he was such a wonderful little boy with all of this tragedy all around him.
Highly recommend. -
Joanne H5 Stars Out Of 5September 18, 2007Joanne HThis review was written for Oceans Apart.I have been reading the other review of this book and I am floored and out-raged that some people found this book bad. I am a HUGE fan. I have so many of her books. This is one of my favorite ones. How she could forgive him after everything that happened and accept this child that could potentially break up her family. This book show compassion and love and that with God's help you can over come anything. That is the message that Karen was trying to bring across or at least that what I thought it was. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading all her books.

t5 Stars Out Of 5forgivenessJuly 17, 2017tQuality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0This review was written for Oceans Apart.It seems like everyone is wanting Connor to pay for the mistake he had made. I guess i'm not getting where so many are coming from in these reviews. The point is that forgiveness will heal and keep peace. We are all called to forgive no matter what the circumstances. We are all sinners and have fallen into temptation in some way.
so what exactly should happen to someone who committed adultery?? Apparently they should pay for it for the rest of their lives...??If more people forgave like Michele did, I think more people would have restored marriages; as long as both were willing of course.
Even looking at someone lustfully is considered adultry in the eyes of Jesus.
sin saddens me and i hate sin, but we are still called to love and forgive. -

Nancy BellPa.Age: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5One of Kingbury's bestJanuary 24, 2014Nancy BellPa.Age: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Oceans Apart.Up to Karen Kingsbury's standards. One of her best. Keeps you guessing about the outcome. Written with passion and emotion. I found myself crying at times and angry with Connor's wife at other times over her treatment of Connor's son. Well worth reading.
