About this book:
Beautiful, precocious three-year-old twins Kara and Lizzie Holbrooke lived a charmed life with their widowed but doting father, Jack. When he found love and married again, it seemed their lives would finally be "happy ever after."

That new life shtters when Jack and his wealthy parents are killed in a plane crash. Jack's new wife, Amanda, inherits the family's estate, but fails to gain custody of the twins.

And so begins an emotionally charged story that encourages readers to embrace the unique life God has planned for each of His children.

My thoughts:
I actually really enjoyed this book. When I picked it out at the store to put on my Christmas list, I thought maybe it was just going to be an okay read. That it was going to have all this stuff about God in it and everything. But it wasn't anything like I expected. There was mention of God and phrases from the Bible but not anything like I expected. I am so happy that I put this on my Christmas list and received it from my roommate. Basically, after Amanda doesn't win custody of the girls, they go to live with their mother's parents so their grandparents where they treat them bad and lock them in the closet. They tell the girls that Amanda killed their mother, father, and grandparents and stole all their money. It was terrible. The girls grew up in a filthy trailer and dropped out of school and worked at a diner where truckers stopped. They stole and everything but Amanda was there when they turned eighteen and wanted them to come and live with them. There was a stuggle about it cause they believed that Amanda had killed their parents and grandparents and that she was out to kill them too but they found out otherwise. A very good read and something that I wouldn't mind reading again. :)
