Penny Sullivan is a mom to an active seven-year-old and husband to a navy chaplain. When her husband answers his call to minister to the soldiers her family is uprooted and moved into a new area. In spite of the daunting reality of being a navy wife Penny is confident that God will be with her. And the separation from her family and her husband when he is on deployement will be okay because she knows that this is where God wants them to be.
Then the unthinkable happens....
After witnessing a violent crime Penny is left reeling and overcome with fear and to make matters worse her husband leaves very soon after that so she is left to deal with the aftermath all alone. Faced with questions like "why did this happen?" and "why can't I get over this?" Penny struggles to hold on to her sanity and keep up a good front for her son and her husband.
I thought this book was fantastic. It is definently a must read. It shows you how even in the midst of horrible circumstances that God will always be with you. After reading Symphony of Secrets I was excited to read another book by Sharon Hinck, and though completely different the book was just as good. So check it out for yourself...and let me know what you think.
