Relation Concering Books Halos
I have to admit that I only started this book because my husband had read it first and knew I would like it. So to please him, I read it. And I read the whole thing in about 4 hours straight without moving. I've never cared enough to write a review for a book but this one touched me. I cried almost the whole way through it. Mostly because it was like reading my own life right on the pages. I grew up in Palm Beach and was disowned by my family at 18 because I married my own "pool boy" type guy. He didn't have money and all he could give me was his love and that was enough for me. The man I married reminded me a lot of Steve. Mostly because at first, my now husband was very secretive and very hurt from his past that he didn't want to love either. And I was like Alessi - young and naive, always trying to look at the better parts of life. It's also funny that my husband loves to play chess like Steve and we're 10 years apart instead of the 9 from Alessi and Steve. And how my husband and I finally came together and got married? I got physically hurt, badly and the morning after my now husband took me and married me. So just like Steve, it took almost loosing me to realize how much he loved me. I think it was the little things in this book that made me cry too, like Alessi asking her mom why no one wanted them and her mother answering her by "They don't know what they're missing." I know what that feels like too. And how her aunt called her mother a slut and how she would be one too. I'd been called that too when I fell in love with my husband. And I also know what it's like to wander without a home of my own, just living in other peoples. I think that's what made me cry the most, but just to see what my life was like and how far I've came. Now I have a family - my husband and our 5 year old daughter. And now I know what to tell my daughter when she asks why she doesn't have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or anyone else but us. "They don't know what they're missing."Details Of Books Halos

I really liked this story, and thought the author did a very nice job of combining the religious part into everything. The plot and characters were well developed, and I enjoyed the suspense and the romance.My Review: Author Kristen Heitzmann has another winner with this one! An involving plot, a likable heroine, and lots of small town charm. Fans of Christian fiction or romantic suspense will definitely enjoy this one.Content Concerns: Sex: A brief reference to promiscuity; kissing. 4/5 Nudity: Talk of wearing bikinis. 4/5 Language: No actual profanity, but a woman is called a "slut". 4/5 Violence: An animal's skull is found in a woman's sweater; a woman suffers a debilitating injury and nearly
Gripping story! I had to finish it, couldn't put it down. =]Heitzmann does a wonderful job of capturing the scenes and drawing you in, making you feel like you could be standing there in the snow, trying to catch the delicate flakes on your tongue along with Alessi herself. The characters are nice and complex. Flawed to perfection! (I type this with a smile on my face, because I've struggled with adding flaws to my all too perfect characters in my own writings. If a person is too perfect, with
I found the blurb interesting & thought it might be a bit of a supernatural thriller/romance. The story started ok & remained interesting mostly but the religious theme became thicker & thicker until, by the end it seemed to overwhelm the storyline, which actually took away from the story, as it felt like the author wasn't sure how to end the book (the situation had become too hopeless & drawn-out)... so a miracle was inserted :/(I didn't have a problem with Chritianity being a

I really enjoyed this novel, and surprised by the mystery and how it kept me going. I didn't think I was going to like it, but the end actually had me tearing up. It was delightful read, and I enjoyed how it surrounded Christmas. The heroine is cute, but the hero took a while for me. Overall, I would recommend it.
Alessi Moore has been on her own most of her life, until she ends up in the town of Charity. Her car is stolen unfortunately, and she is forced to live with strangers and being sabotaged by the car thief. Here, we see the theme of the book, which is to accept the good in people instead of trying to fix them. Alessi has to learn this the hard way in her complicated relationship with a local boy.The author Kristen Heitzmann does a fairly good job with detail in her novel. She doesn't create a
