In A Little Piece of Heaven, Staci Stallings picks up the Faith Series right where A Work in Progress ends.  After reading the first book in the series, I will have to admit, Jeremy was not one of my favorite characters. I certainly would not have matched him with Emily.  But as both Emily and Jeremy learn, God has a bigger picture. And it may not be the picture we see or want.Staci has crafted a wonderful story about two individuals who have very different backgrounds but are both striving for love and acceptance.  I love how Jeremy changes from a mean, judgemental puppet to a warm, caring individual.  And I love how Emily learns to trust.  She eventually trusts Jeremy with a secret from the past that has haunted and shaped her.  But the best part of the entire book for me was how Jeremy and Emily learn that no matter how hard they try to put the pieces of their life together, God sees the entire picture and can bring pieces into the puzzle that they never saw coming. They just need to trust God with the puzzle pieces.  I always have numerous bookmarks in Staci's books.  The bookmark that I know I will return to over and over again in A Little Piece of Heaven will be Jeremy talking with Matt at youth group about putting the puzzle pieces together.I also like how Staci develops Jeremy and Emily's relationship.  Their friendship and eventual relationship does not come easily.  From the time spent at college, to the week in Colorado, both characters grow as individuals and as a couple.  I like how you truly experience the emotions that both characters experience.  The romance is very sweet with a very touching ending.You will definately not be disappointed in A Little Piece of Heaven.I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.  You will love the book, honestly!!!!!
