There is a ton of growth for all the characters.

4. Is the plot engaging—does the story interest you? Is this a plot-driven book: a fast-paced page-turner? Or does the story unfold slowly with a focus on character development? Were you surprised by the plot's complications?

The story unfolds slowly. I was surprised at some of the characters outburst and other times I wasn't. I knew that there would be a love try angle between Mason, Paige, and Brandon. I knew that the book would end like it did.  I wished it ended differently than what I thought.

This book interlocks two stories. The timeline moves back and forth between past and present.

Forgiveness and Faith.
