Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-23 00:00:00 Antonio Yanez The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is that I am tired of reading books by Christian authors who glamorize the characters - "she" is always young and extremely beautiful and "he" is always young and terribly handsome. Not everyone who falls in love in the real world are beautiful and handsome nor young. I expect this from secular authors but don't understand why it has to be prevalent in Christian books. Otherwise, I liked this book very much. The subject of the story was quite different than what authors usually write about. There are some parts that are tear jerkers. I was also touched by the author's words at the end of the book about the subject matter.

Yes, constantly hearing Emma grieve over her life was kind of bothering me - until I found out why. Karen's book has touch me on such a deep and spiritual level that I can promise you I will be re-reading it and recommending to anyone that is willing to sit down and enjoy it. No matter what your views on abortion are - this book will make you think. Everyone has a past. On top of that, this is the perfect book when it comes to closure. Not just closure on past decisions, but relationships and heartache. Everyone at some point in their life will come across that man or woman who just leaves their heart shattered across the floor. This book will help you find peace with it. "He angled his head, searching her eyes, almost as if he were memorizing her. 'Shades of blue. That's where we'll always be.' He looked out at the ocean again. 'Here in the shades of blue.'"
