My Review:
This was a wonderfully written book. I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to review this book. It is a short and easy read, as will be my review. Gene Fehler pulls together an unforgettable story of  a young girl struggling with death of a loved one from cancer and feeling like her life is unfair. The issues and ways of handling this and God all shine through in Fehler’s work. I will say that this book is geared toward younger people, especially those who may be struggling with death and finding their happiness, however, I recommend this book as a wonderful read for everyone, because there is a message from God in here that is sure to touch everyone in some way. I know it did me. My heart goes out to Kate and her family…I cried with them, smiled with them, and prayed with them. I hope you will give this book a chance and get to know the wonderful characters throughout this story…it is worth the time and worthy of a 4 star praise! Well done!
