MY THOUGHTS

I have been loving this series! (Click the titles for my reviews of the first two books, A Sensible Arrangement and A Moment in Time.) Tracie Peterson wraps up the trilogy with a story focusing on Jessica, whose appearances in book two showed her to be a shallow and rather petulant young woman. Peterson expertly develops Jessica into a likable and sympathetic character as she becomes convicted of her self-absorbed lifestyle and endeavors to change. Although this book reads easily as a stand-alone, character appearances and references to previous events add greater depth for those who have read the first two novels. Thoroughly satisfying, A Matter of Heart will capture yours!
