Karen Kingsbury’s books are always in a category of their own. Waiting for Morning pulls you in right from the beginning just like her others.

Hannah Ryan has the perfect life…until one man’s choice destroys it all in one devastating instant. Her husband and 15 year old daughter are killed and

her other daughter suffers severe depression. Unable to forgive the man who caused the accident, Hannah first blames God then decides He must not exist. She pours all of her energy and time into making sure Brian Wesley, the drunk driver, pays for destroying her family…pushing her surviving daughter away in the process.

Emotions run raw and honest in Mrs. Kingsbury’s books and this one is no exception. I could empathize with Hannah’s anger and Jenny’s agony. Yet the power of God’s love and mercy is so powerful throughout. His will is always clear…”Forgive and you will be forgiven.” Wonderful book!

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group in exchange for this

this book took an unexpected twist when a faith full family is torn apart by a drunk driver kill's a husband and daughter and severly wounding the other daughter in the crash. A mother sits waiting her family to return from a annual end of summer trip when time passes she knows something is wrong

,a police man comes to the door ....their has been an accident. Hanna's world is turned upside down as she turns against God and get s on a destructive path to seek vengeance on the drunk driver .I couldn't put the book down the beginig was a little harder to get through but once the story unfolds its amazing. Very strong message to any Christian s feeling lost or mistrusting their faith in God. I would recommend this book to everyone.
