I loved this book. It is a wonderful story of how two people rely on God to help them overcome many difficult situations and see how God works things out for them. The characters are well developed and likeable. The story flows at the perfect pace. I highly recommend this book.

Well worth reading! This was an intense read with a lot of heartache and struggle, coupled with shocking family secrets. Through it all the lessons of God's goodness and the hope that He gives, shines through. The author handles the question of why God allows suffering, with sensitivity and insight. I highly recommend this book!

A beautiful story! I immediately fell in love with the characters. The love of the Savior in our darkest hour woven through the story kept me clinging to hope that all would work out for Beatrice and Isaac. The secrets of the Taylor family added mystery to the story keeping the reader drawn in. This is a great story of God's love and how much he loves us.

This book was hard to put down because I became very engaged with the characters.

Throughout the book, multiple mentions of their faith in God and His promises are what comforts them during the darkest of time. The true Lamp we all need.

I loved this book. It was enthralling and the characters were great! I would highly recommend this book - enjoy!

I almost read this in a day but it was 2:30am so I had to give in. I kept waiting for a good stopping point but the twists upon twists kept getting me and I just HAD to know how it was going to turn out!

Because life is so full of challenges it’s easy to let go of hope. Beatrice and Isaac really have to hang on when darkness reigns but that’s the only way to reach their dreams. Read the book. It’s worth the time.
