Margaret’s story continues in this second book of the Window to the Heart Saga. I love how the author continues to follow Margaret throughout this series. So many times we are introduced to a character and then we do not see them much as the series continues, but thankfully that is not the case with this fantastic series. Thankfully we get to follow Margaret’s journey as she continues to grow and mature not just physically and emotionally but also spiritually. This second book is just as beautifully written as the first. Margaret must pick up the shattered pieces of her life while trying to move forward and protect herself and her family. I love how Margaret did not just give up, although she wanted to several times, she kept on moving forward. We could all learn a lesson from Margaret to be sure. There will be times in our lives when we may feel like giving up, but with God’s help and strength we can and must keep going. I enjoyed Margaret’s story so much, that I read both books in the same night. They were just so good and captivating that I could not stop reading. I cannot wait to find out what happens next. If you are looking for an exciting and captivating read, then I suggest you read this fabulous series.
I received a complimentary e-book copy from the author in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
