highly recommended

From the author of Bitterroot Landing--hailed by the Richmond State as "a splendid contribution to Southern literature"--comes a stunning story woven around the themes of innocence and miracles in everyday life. When the granddaughter of the founder of an isolated religious community in South Carolina is discovered to be pregnant, no amount of punishment will make her recant her statement that a holy child grows inside her.

Wow...this book is really good!

This is probably going to be one of my top 10 most favorite books. I loved every single part of the book. The ending was soooooo great!

Intriguing Story

This is an incredibly amazing book. After reading the back, I was not sure I wanted to purchase the book, but decided to do so. From the moment I opened the book, I didn't want to put it down. Sheri Reynolds made this book and religious cult come to life in every page.

Loved this book!

This is NOT a book I typically would have picked up. But I was sitting in a coffee shop/used book store and saw it sitting there. I picked it up, took a look at the first page, and before I knew it, it was 4 hours later and I was completely in love.

great story

I liked this book a lot. It was very easy to read, a lot of descriptions to give you a good picture in your head. The story was great.

Just Okay

I enjoyed this book enough to finish reading, but I just didn't find the characters believable. The book started off pretty engaging, but really sputtered about 3/4 of the way through.
The main character is a young teenager who has been endoctrinated her whole life into this "cult" however even at a young age her doubts are louder then her faith.
Grampa Hermen leads the congregation and executes punishments however even own wife doesn't care for his leadership and expecially not for the punishement he delivers, she doesn't really listen to his sermons, however she seems to be totally in love with him. huh?

If you love to read books with vivid character descriptions, character you grow to care about, leave this book on the shelf.

If you just want to escape with a quick read you might like this book.
