I went into this expecting it to be the same as the movie and came out with way more. Definitely a touching story of hardship and faith. I needed this story in my life right now as I am going through a personal hardship. I found such great advice and insight from this book. Kim explained in so many ways how relying on the Lord for healing is the best route to take and I really needed to hear that. I would give this book 5 stars except that some parts were a little too slow for me but the message was so great I gave it 4 stars.

Are you kidding me?!?!

That ending was THE WORST. I hate Mae! She was a horrible, self-righteous egomaniac. I was really hoping for this to go a different direction and I’m mad with the way it ended. Low rating for how annoying Mae was and also for how horrible the ending was.

Also, I have never wanted as much privacy in my life as I do now after reading this book. My social media posts will be dropping significantly (not that it will be hard to do, I rarely post as it is). I may even delete some of my accounts.
