content: The first seven books about Corrie Belle Hollister I absolutely loved!!! I would read a whole book at one sitting.2 of the books I read in one day. But book #8 and this book I had to force myself to finish; especially this book.I have a real problem with Christopher Braxton. He has alot ofemotional baggage. Even though I believe it was a good idea to wait until Corrie and Christopher knew each for 2 years before they got married and I do not believe working for your future father-in law is the answer. He should have been out there looking for a way to support his future wife and family. But the author never really dealt with Christopher's jealousy over the fact that Corrie could command an audience when Christopher did not have that talent. I have not read the next book and I do not plan to, but I can not help but believe the real reason he wants to move east is so he will not have to compete with the Hollister's well-respected reputation in Miracle Springs.
