My Review:

This was the first story I've read by this author and it was a nice introduction.

Ok, this is going to be a strange place to start off with a review, but the toddler who steals the show was actually believable. Sometimes authors don't give 2 year olds the right vocabulary or behaviors, but this author did a great job. It's a pet peeve of mine when authors don't get this. :)

So, speaking of the toddler, Oliver helps introduce us to Neil and Maggie after wandering off from her house. I loved, loved, loved her foster mom, Ruby. She's a fabulous example of loving without conditions and that clearly had an impact on Maggie's life as she was growing up. She and the rest of the foster siblings certainly benefited being under Ruby's care.

I really appreciate how the author handled teaching readers about foster children and issues they deal with. She did it well through Maggie and Oliver.

Also, the faith element that especially was woven through Neil's storyline. He's had incredible heartache, but throughout the story you can sense God knocking at his heart. He does this especially through Maggie and Oliver.

This is a very sweet story with a strong faith element!
