No one could have predicted the incredible turns this story takes as its characters live out their dreams....and a few of their worst nightmares, as well. "Micheal and Emily were college sweethearts, but Emily left Micheal, a non-mormon, to marry Ryan Hall in the temple. After ten years of unhappy marriage, Ryan's unexpected death reawakened the dream, and Emily and Micheal (now a member of the Church) married. They moved to Australia with Emily's three, and adding two sons to the family. "Now marrried eight years, it is difficult to imagine Emily and Micheal have not always been together. Life is good, and thier love is strong. But then, one by one, shadows appear that drive Micheal to distractions. Emily want another child, but his fear of losing her open an ever-widening gulf of misunderstanding between them. And his fear is not centered in this life alone; in the next life, will Emily choose Ryan (to whom she is sealed) or Micheal (to whom she is not sealed)? "Thus begins a remarkable journey that runs the gamut of emotion. Along the way, you'll feel all the yearning, intensity, and searching for the truth that this family experiences. And you finally come to understand, with Micheal and Emily, that sometimes blessings come only after an exceptional trial of one's faith." I loved every minute of this book. You feel as if you were Micheal And Emily as they go through all their Trials. If you love romance novels mixed with things of the LDS church you will love this story as much as i did.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-02-20 00:00:00 Tammy Rodgers I loved these "first love" books!! I do love to read books that are part of a series, I feel like you just go through so much with the characters, it's always hard to finish them and say goodbye. These 3 I will definatly be keeping and reading again. They are very easy reads, and I really enjoyed them. I actually gained a stronger desire to pray more. The main character Emily has a very strong testimony, even though she has gone through many trials. Her testimony of prayer and her faith make me want to be better. Even though it's fictional, there is truth to her life and story, and it really showed how much power is in prayer. I am sad to leave these books, but my next few are a continuation of some characters from these, so I'm not leaving them completely!
