This is the 4th book in the "Daughters of the Promise" series. I'm really starting to enjoy these characters, to look forward to 'what happens next'.Linda's story is a bit of a departure from the first 3 novels in the series. Those were mainly romances . . . Lillian, Carley, and Sadie finding the men that God meant for them to marry. Linda and Stephen are introduced as a couple already in this story, so she doesn't find love romantically in the book. She does, however, find her birth mother (or, rather, her birth mother finds her), and learns that sometimes love is messy and imperfect (because people can be messy and imperfect!), but that her heart has room enough for the people who would give their lives for her.I was also excited to see that this series has an 'offshoot' series as well. Colour me intrigued! :) 3.5-3.75I liked it and the ending made me really interested in the new series she is writing :). I enjoyed Linda's story in this book and how she came to terms with being adopted. The side story of Josie and her illness was a good reminder that God really does hear us and wants us to tell him how we feel so that he can give us comfort.A good multifaceted story. I always enjoy getting a glimpse of the people for previous stories :). I will read the next one and the land of Canaan series at some point and I am sure the books will not disappoint!
