I really liked this book. From beginning to end you were caught up in what would happen next. The characters are believable and likeable, flaws and all. From very severe and sad situations, like poverty and abuse, each came to the orphanage with their own baggage.
In Every Heartbeat

September 2010
The three main characters Libby, Bennett and Pete often helped each other carry said baggage in a 1914 United States on the brink of war. But with determination to overcome, they each set out on different roads. Though the road was often rough and lonely, each found his/her strength drawn, for two of the three, from a new found faith, and for one his faith severely tried and found to be more than sufficient, a firm foundation.
One thing that made this book special was the honesty in the day by day trials overcome by faith as well as the overwhelming trials overcome by that same simple faith.
Simply put, a great read.
