“I just finished this book today and was blown away! Koni brings the characters to life and makes the reader feel every emotion. I thought I was reading a Karen Kingsbury novel with how invested I was in the characters!! I read a lot of books and not many have had the ability to do that. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!”

“This was a captivating read. I could not put it down once I started reading it. It is a combination of spiritual, ordinary relationships, mysteries and life lessons. I simply loved it and recommended it to all my family and friends. I cannot wait for Koni Atencio’s next novel. I am normally “a mystery” only reader, however this book was much more than I had anticipated. You will not be disappointed, read it!!!!”

Excerpt:

“Breaking develops compassion, you know?” Maggie says.

“You split apart, and you wonder why God who’s supposed to love you would let you break that way. You try to believe He has a purpose and a plan just like He promises. Heaven knows enough people tell you so, but you can’t see it. He doesn’t have to show us the pattern first. He doesn’t need our approval. He is God, and He can do whatever He wants. We just have to accept it and fight like mad not to be bitter about it.

Then one day, some other broken soul comes along with an edge that fits next to yours like two pieces of the same pattern. That’s when your pain and your life take on a new meaning with a greater dimension than you’d have ever known, if not for your own brokenness.”
