I absolutely loved this authors With You series, and was delighted to find out she was planning a seperate series focusing on the earlier lives of the brothers.I had actually forgotten it was featuring the Carter brothers as I started reading it!I very quickly got into the book and read it on one sitting. I was so disappointed when I finished it.This is the story of Karl and Elise, but not as we know them from the other books.This one takes us back to their childhood and early adulthood. The author does a great job of providing us with the history of these characters, and the struggles and misunderstandings they experience.We also, obviously, see the other members of the Carter family throughout this book, and it was great seeing snippets of their earlier lives. If you have read the With You series you will know a little about the Carter family story. This book gives us a much greater insight into that, and made me fall even more in love with them as a family.We find out in much greater detail certain events which were only briefly spoken about before, and that will give the reader a much better understanding of the family unit and the dynamics within it.I love this author, love her books, and can't wait to read the next one!
