It was great! I found myself reading slower and slower as I got to the end. I just didn't want the book to end.

There is a wealth of wisdom in every chapter and the plot kept me guessing the whole time.

MoaB Early Review (Beta Reader) #9
I have truly enjoyed following Calysta's story and it was truly beautiful. Emotionally and spiritually beautiful and it shows just how much God loves us and sees us as His beautiful creations.
