Emma Malloy's story is revealed in this book. We heard just tiny bits of it in the first book about this family. (A Hope Undaunted) We join this book at the wedding of Kate and Luke, and Emma is here, and this is her story. This book was a good book, but it was so distracting. There were too many side stories in this book, and my main concern was there was entirely too much intimacy in the book. I realize that this was between spouses, and it was handled fairly discreetly, but I don't want to read about that, I want to read the story of Emma. All these things turned what would have been a 4 or 5 star story into a 3 star story for me. I was so disappointed because this story could have been so much more than intimate scenes over and over.
