Wonderful, Soul-searching Book

This book is about a woman nearing middle age who finds her world falling apart. Her marriage is in a rut, she loses her job, and faces a few fears. Before Carissa comes apart mentally and emotionally she decides to come apart by getting away. Carissa is offered a cottage in Hawaii to vacation in, so jumps at the chance. While in Maui, Carissa has to face her problems, but makes new friends. God meets Carissa there and slowly takes her a part bit by bit utntil she realizes that she must change in her attitudes, marriage and in her relationship with God.

I loved this book. Even though alot of the subject matter didn't pertain to me because I'm single, I still came away from the book with something to think on. Robin Jones Gunn books are always like this. No matter if I'm reading one of her teen books or one of her adult novels, I always come away smiling, sometimes crying for joy, but ALWAYS feeling closer to God.

One thing I would like to say is that if you are like me and read and own every book by Robin Jones Gunn than you might want to be careful about letting your children under sixteen read this book. There are a couple of adult themes in this book that may not be appropriate for children and younger teens.

Fantastic!!! Best i have read in a long time.

Many thanks to Robin for a wonderful read. Got it yesterday and finished today, could not put it down. It was especially interesting for me because my husband and I spent 3 weeks on Maui last Oct. Robin totally captures the feel of the island and I love the history bits that she worked into the story. My husband and I have visited the HI islands several times and like Robin, we really love the Aloha there. The description of how Carissa discovered more about herself and recommits her life to God left me very emotional. Even thou I know that the characters are fictional, they were very real to me through Robins writings. Her descriptions of some of the sights brought wonderful memories back of when we were there. This should be a must read for any woman having trouble in her marriage or finding herself drawing away from Ke Akua. Looking forward to reading more of Robin's books.

Everything is redeemable

I recommend this to anyone who has been married. Marriage is hard sometimes. Often leaving seems easier than staying. It's easy to feel hopeless in your relationship. Robin does a wonderful job of illustrating how God redeems relationships. It's beautiful and heartfelt. Also this book transports the reader to Hawaii with is grace filled aloha spirit.

Five Stars

Love it. Can't wait for the next book

Loved this little book!

Just got back from Maui when I read this. It came alive and the message of the story is an important one
