Library copy. My first read of this author.While this is not my preferred genre (historical fiction), it being contemporary Christian romance fiction, I have to say I enjoyed it very much. Not from the get-go, it took a few pages for me to 'get into' it, but once I did there was no stopping. Very nicely done. Needs no elaboration. Just read the book for yourself! A great book for all generations, young and old, male and female. A great clean family faith read. Love the title with its very clear meaning.Looking forward to reading Wings of Glass very soon.

Wanting to share the news with David, she rang him only to discover via voice-mail he had gotten married.

What do You think about Crossing Oceans (2010)?
Started out with an interesting premise. Then got so predictable I had a really hard time finishing.

Great book. Well written. A sad but faith filled book about a mother's love for her daughter.
