This book is a Christian novel that is very well put together.  I had read previously a little short story in the Christmas Visitor's book also written by DeEtte Beckstead.  She wrote a sample chapter to her book as a hors d'oeuvre for her first chapter in her book Victory!  In order to find out the story behind "Brown Eyes", I bought the book Victory.  That first chapter made tears run down my cheeks because I could so relate to the foundling.  I was not disappointed with the book Victory.There is the Guest (Martin Percival the bad guy) and then there is the Stranger (Steve the good guy).  Brown Eyes is an orphaned child that was brought to live with a distant relative in the city of Victory, Shirley.  Shirley has had a really rough life and has pretty much turned her back on religion and has no real use for Brown Eyes except for the small check the State sends her every month.  Now in any Christian story there is a fight for good and evil.  This book is no different but what makes it so amazing is how DeEtte Beckstead weaves the story around the whole town of Victory.  There is one lesson in there we all should know by now and that is not to judge people buy the clothes they wear, what they drive, or how they look but DeEtte Anderson brings forth a new lesson in which we all must learn sometime in our lives.DeEtte Beckstead adaptation of good and evil begins with her very first line in this book which quoted states "If God is with us, who can be against us?"  This book is a very good read whether you are a Christian or not and has one of the best life lessons to learn.  This book made me cry in places and cheer in others.  It made me sad at the stupidity of people allowing others to think for them, sort of how life is today and if you read this book you will see a similarity of where we are today and where we should be.  This is nothing more than an awesome read and hopes you will pick it up and read it.  Thanks DeEtte Beckstead for a glimpse into the world we already live in and how it truly should be.Victory
