Ben returns injured from a tour in Afghanistan. What his wife doesn't know is that his missing toes are only the beginning of his injuries. And while he was enduring the horrors of war, his wife was protesting the war at home. Their marriage hasn't been the same since he returned, and they both know it.

When Ben discovers an abandoned baby, he persuades Abbi they can serve as foster parents until the police locate the baby's parents—possibly adopt Silvia if the parents aren't discovered. Baby Silvia brings Ben and Abbi together in a common cause, but they soon learn that she's only a bandage for their lurking problems. If they lose Silvia, will their marriage survive? It's a question neither Ben nor Abbi can answer. Read more or get the quick scoop. ( )

I really did like Christa Parrish's first book, and I was looking forward to this one, but I had a hard time reading it. There seemed to be alot going on in everyone's life, it really overwhelmed me. Then suddenly everyone was getting along and the book wrapped up. I was disappointed but would read her again since I really enjoy her first one. ( )

I started this book, but never finished it. Not sure WHY I couldn't finish it, but it just did nothing for me. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a book, or maybe it was just a "flat" book. I"ll give it a break...and come back and try it again in a few months. Maybe then, it will be a good book. ( )

Overall a decent read. The plot is good but heavy. Parish covers a lot of major issues in this book and I'd agree that they weren't all resolved/treated in a believable mannor. Parish did a great job showing that our plans are not always the same as what God's plans are for our lives. ( )

Well-written, good plot, and a non-cheezy ending (I dislike endings that tie everything up into an unrealisticly neat, perfect, happy ending). I love that the couple weren't your run-of-the-mill Christian protagonists. The husband is Indian ("with a dot, not a feather" ) and the wife is a vegan, tattooed, wanna-be hippy (sounds wacky, but it works in the book). All the characters were likeable and believable. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and I'll be on the lookout for more books from Christa Parrish. ( )
