Love Story by Karen KingsburyMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I have such a sweet spot for the Baxters. They were the first family who introduced me to Christian fiction and one of my all time favourite fiction families (though, sometimes it feels like they exist in the real world). Their legacy of faith is so strong, even though they are not without their mistakes!
I enjoyed finally getting John and Elizabeth's back story. Through the previous 25+ books in the Baxter series, it is clear that John is a man of strong faith, so to see what happened between him and Elizabeth which lead to Dayne's adoption was great. And how promising, because no matter the mistakes of your past, God can change you and your future and make you known for a legacy of faith!
I also enjoyed Cody and Andi's love story and hope to see more off them in the rest of the series.
You do not have to read the 25+ books before this new series, there is a recap before the story starts. However, you will know the characters and their journey more in-depth if you do have time to read all the books.
Narrator: I loved the narrators. They read the story with emotion and I enjoyed that they jumped between male and female as the POV of the characters changed.
