All three of these characters have struggles to overcome. Some will depend upon their God and others will fight and rebel with Him. But as someone in the book states, you can try to run from Him and fight Him, but God will continue to call you to Himself; you can't win your fight against God.
There is danger, gold to be discovered, love to be strengthened and grief and sorrow and evil in this story. But there is also a family tie that cannot be broken and a strength of character that will in the end show through. With every struggle you will cheer on this family and hope they will come through the fires, refined as gold. Looking forward to seeing how this will all come together in book 3, 'Claim'.
