My Review

"Returning Home'' by Toni Shiloh is a wonderful story of a second chance at love. It is also a story of forgiveness and God's mercy.

This story really hit home with me because like Evan, my mom had to have a leg amputated about three weeks ago, so I think that is one reason why I was hooked into the story from the start.

I really liked how the characters were shown as imperfect and how they grew in their faith.

This story is what a Christian Fiction should be, one without bad languages or explict scenes.

I felt like I was reliving my relationships with my grandma when I was reading the scenes with Jo Ellen and her grandma.

This book had moments that might make a reader cry because the book was so true to life.

"Returning Home'' by Toni Shiloh is the first book in the series and I am looking forward to reading the next book in "Freedom Lake Novel" series.

I recommend "Returning Home'' by Toni Shiloh to anyone that likes a clean love story that is more than boy meets girl and they fall in love.

This story is about characters who left and came back to Freedom Lake.

There are a couple of characters that I think other readers would want to read their story and found out why they act the way they do, and those characters are Jo Ellen's mom and sister.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
