This story was definitely something different than I was used to but in a great way! It tells the story of many years in the future where the Bible and Christianity are pretty much extinct. The Tulamites are in the belief that there is going to be a savior that comes to earth and will make sure that everything is running smoothly. They are so sure that this is going to happen that they need to make sure that they have the fifty civilians arrive to the colony each year. This is one of the things that is supposed to make the savior come. Lynette is one of those characters that is strong within her own right. She is dying but still manages to take care of her grandson even though it is taking a toll on her. She has to make the decision to send Jeremy away to live with his father on a space colony. Jeremy does not know his dad well at all. Lynette has told Jeremy to follow God’s word and to make sure that all his guidance comes from Him. She does not want him to turn out to be brainwashed and conform to society.There are also the characters of Sam and Tanya that are also on their way to the space colony. They are eager to see what awaits them. Tanya had not been herself since their nineteen year old son died. The workings of what would be a fresh start on the space colony give the reader hope that she will be able to cope and start a new life without all the hardship and grief. Questions are also arisen from the other characters in the book as to whether everything will turn out the way it is supposed to. I have honestly never thought of putting a Christian themed novel together with Science Fiction, but it was amazing. The characters were so well developed and they each had their own story to tell. The book moved along at just the perfect speed so that I did not get bored or even worse, lost. Pauline Creeden is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint with this book!Disclosure: I was given a copy of this novel for my open and honest opinion. All thoughts are my own.
