Description In Favor Of Books Halos
I have to admit that I only started this book because my husband had read it first and knew I would like it. So to please him, I read it. And I read the whole thing in about 4 hours straight without moving. I've never cared enough to write a review for a book but this one touched me. I cried almost the whole way through it. Mostly because it was like reading my own life right on the pages. I grew up in Palm Beach and was disowned by my family at 18 because I married my own "pool boy" type guy. He didn't have money and all he could give me was his love and that was enough for me. The man I married reminded me a lot of Steve. Mostly because at first, my now husband was very secretive and very hurt from his past that he didn't want to love either. And I was like Alessi - young and naive, always trying to look at the better parts of life. It's also funny that my husband loves to play chess like Steve and we're 10 years apart instead of the 9 from Alessi and Steve. And how my husband and I finally came together and got married? I got physically hurt, badly and the morning after my now husband took me and married me. So just like Steve, it took almost loosing me to realize how much he loved me.I think it was the little things in this book that made me cry too, like Alessi asking her mom why no one wanted them and her mother answering her by "They don't know what they're missing." I know what that feels like too. And how her aunt called her mother a slut and how she would be one too. I'd been called that too when I fell in love with my husband. And I also know what it's like to wander without a home of my own, just living in other peoples.
I think that's what made me cry the most, but just to see what my life was like and how far I've came. Now I have a family - my husband and our 5 year old daughter. And now I know what to tell my daughter when she asks why she doesn't have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or anyone else but us. "They don't know what they're missing."

I liked this book, and I loved the main character, Alessi. She was such a sweetheart. Despite the tough times and circumstances she faced in her life she kept her face to the sun and put her trust in God, humanity, and love. She swept into a small town, (re)named Charity, and gave the town a miracle with her generosity and kind heart. The story seemed a tad longer at times than necessary and a few parts seemed a tad too far fetched. It wasn't really a mystery, although there was a bit of aI think this is my favorite Kristen Heitzmann book so far. Definitely hard to put down. Enjoyed the story.
Alessi Moore has been on her own most of her life, until she ends up in the town of Charity. Her car is stolen unfortunately, and she is forced to live with strangers and being sabotaged by the car thief. Here, we see the theme of the book, which is to accept the good in people instead of trying to fix them. Alessi has to learn this the hard way in her complicated relationship with a local boy.The author Kristen Heitzmann does a fairly good job with detail in her novel. She doesn't create a
A review from my old blog...I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't help flipping pages away from the end to see how certain things would turn out. I know that technically one is not supposed to do that but I can't help it. With good books I always sneak a peek to the end to see how things will turn out in the end. :DAlessi is such a believable character. I fell in love with her and with Steve as well.I can't come up with a decent review because I love the book so much!**Update**I really have
A Christian love story with a mystery all rolled into one book. A good friend loaned me the book and I LOVED it. Thanks, Norma. It was a fast read that kept me reading and spare chance I got. Just wish I had more spare time.

I did not like this book. I felt it was not Biblical! It glorified visions of halos and angels, not The One True God - The God who created all. There are multiple things in the book that do not line up with TRUTH and made me shake my head and mutter "Strange!".On a different level, what is with these characters that kiss after 2 days?! And the description of the ICU doctor's breath?..."medicinal halitosis"?! I enjoyed the author's "Diamond of the Rockies" series...that was good reading with a
