A beautiful story of faith, family and forgiveness. I wasn't sure I was going to like the book because it was based off a screenplay and I wasn't sure how it would translate. Also, I had already seen the movie (I watched it before I even knew there was a book) and loved the movie, so I had pretty high standards. But, the author did a beautiful job! The book is written in multiple first-person format,which made me fall in love with the characters. I felt I knew each of them on a personal level and really enjoyed seeing the story unfold from each person's point of view. This story is a modern day retelling of the prodigal son and the message of faith, forgiveness and family, really stand out through the whole book. I loved this book and will definitely be recommending it to others.

This is one of those books that catch you in the beginning and hold you until the end. The story is about Faith and Luke and the huge problems they face in married life.
