He is so infernally there like a horsefly till he buzzes back to his ex.Raine's brother tweaks. Her dream of Africa dies small deaths. Will she figure out what to fight for and what to free before it's too late?For anyone who's ever wrestled with her dreams.… (more)

Raine decides to teach
I was able to relate to this particular situation. For years I made excuses for my youngest sister and her drinking problems that eventually became drug problems as well. I did this to protect my mother I said. It almost destroyed not only my sister, but also my family. This is a book that should be read by everyone.
I believe it can be enjoyed by Christian and Non-Christian alike.
I look forward to reading more by this author.
