Wonderful

I absolutely loved this story, I felt like I was such apart of it and wanted to be in the house. I honestly wish there were real houses around like this today so many many would benefit from it. Gotta go get into book 2 so I can stay engaged ....yes you will just wanna keep on going..

An absorbing and uplifting read.

I must admit, I only put this book down to eat, sleep and go to work! It was a blessing to read about Evelyn and her boarders. It reminded me of the different ways God speaks to us and draws us to Him. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

What a blessing!

This was a surprise gem. I don't usually read women's fiction. But something about the premise of this book drew me in. What a blessing. Within its pages I learned several lessons that I've been needing to learn for a long time, and refreshed some things that I had forgotten. I even gained a verse that spoke directly to me. God bless you Nancy Moser for writing such a book. Very inspirational and strong clean good writing. I believe this is my first book by Nancy, but it won't be the last. Well done.

Such a beautiful story of learning to love

This is the story of how 6 women and one little girl became a household of "sisters". Their struggles and differences were obstacles to be dealt with. In order to do so, they had to learn patience, kindness and love for others. This is well written and edited. The story is filled with the pain of growth and the pleasure of strong bonds. All the characters are truly believable and lovable. I highly recommend this one!!

Love the way God works in the women's lives in this book

I liked everything in this book--even when I saw myself in some of the women's less desirable behaviors. I will recommend this book to a group of friends who are like sisters to me. Anticipating next book in series.

This book will not disappoint

Great read! I loved the diversity in this book. How all these women came together and learned to know and chose to love each other no matter what their differences are. They all had that one thing in common. I called my sisters immediately encouraging them to read this one.

A five plus!

I have read numerous books by this author. It would be hard to say which one I enjoyed the most. Like all of the others I didn't want this one to end. I plan to read all of the books in this series. It is Christian fiction at its best.
