My Thoughts: 3.5/5 stars
Though I did not feel I really gelled well with Cross My Heart, I still find some enjoyment within its pages.
The writing style was simple, to the point. I usually prefer more embellishments .
The story line was enjoyable, though.
It was hard for me, in the beginning to really get into the book, but towards the end it really became worth it.
My favorite character was probably Grandpa Henning. He was wise, realistic, hopeful, deep, encouraging and prayful.
He reminded me a lot of my own grandfather. Whom I've been missing a lot these past few days.
So it was really nice to be able to connect with my grandpa through this book in a way.
Ben struggled a lot in his past, and though we got only a short glimpse into who he was, I found myself really proud of him and who he'd become.
I loved the message that we can never stray too far from God that we lose His love.
His love is everlasting.
Ashley was a deep character, one I will not forget.
She too has a troubled past and I loved watching her overcome that. I loved seeing her heart change towards God and watching her become the person God had always intended for her to be.
This book will inspire you to think about God and what He intends for you.
I also very much loved the ranch and the equine therapy program.
Equine therapy is something I've been interested in and have thought a lot about.
So bravo to Robin Lee Hatcher for bringing light to a topic that's not hugely recognized.
I can't wait to read more stories from this author!
