Summary
Overall If you enjoy Christian fiction you will really like this book. It is a sweet love story of a couple (Gwen and Lucas) struggling to get pregnant and an action packed mystery. In addition, I enjoyed the secondary characters of her friend Kari, the relationship between Marc and Sam, and the partnership between Marc and Eddie. The
story had some surprises. This is definitely Christian fiction with several references throughout the book to prayer, faith, God, etc.
Violence The violence is not graphic. There is a kidnapping that involves a baby. I think a teen could read it without any problem. Parents may a harder time. Not because of any descriptive violence; just the thought of it is scary.
Language
Sexual Some kissing and hugging. There are some implied scenes between the married couple but NO details at all.
Drug & Alcohol If I recall correctly someone has a drink once or twice in the book.
