“Manning and Garrett do a wonderful job bringing to life the
downfalls of a superficial form of contemporary Christianity, while
dramatizing struggles readers can easily relate to. This story of
love found and grace extended will bring hope to everyone who reads
it.”--Booklist

“This is a powerful retelling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
The storyline is believable and flows very well throughout the
book. The characters are written well, and their weaknesses are
shown along with their strengths. When they hit rock bottom, they
learn about themselves and prove they can change with a lot of hard
work. Manning is an amazing writer and is not shy about showing her
characters’ flaws and foibles.”---Romantic Times
