That's what these characters did.  To give a good review, you have to be completely honest.  While I completely loved this book, it was a slow start for me – I think I kept waiting to get to the point that would bring me back to Ashton and Beth from the first book.  That was my mistake – they are mentioned in this book as a side note and nothing more.  Because I had the expectation this book would pick up on their story I wasn’t allowing myself to fully experience the deepness of Kalin and Danae, but when I did…  These characters pulled me into their love story – the ups and downs, the twists and turns, and just the sheer beauty of it.  I never knew what was coming next, only that these 2 were trying to live their life that way God wanted.  I had a hard time putting this book down because I needed to know what happened next.  I found myself with tears in my eyes at different parts of the story and cheering in others.  This is such an awesome story of love, redemption, and faith.  Staci Stallings has fast become one of my favorite authors!  You cannot go wrong with anything she writes!
