Even those who do their best to follow Christ have trials, struggles, and tribulations. Making it hard sometimes to always want to do the right thing, but Ms. Lovely presents these characters flaws and all to the reader. How would you handle these situations?This was an interesting read, a little slow to start, but managed to pick up and keep a good pace until the end.
