Product Description
Hannah Ryan is the mother of two adorable little girls and the wife of a doting husband. Her life is perfect -- until the night her husband and eldest daughter are ripped away from her by a drunken driver. Torn by grief and rage, Hannah finds her faith -- like that of Jeremiah weeping over Jerusalem -- tested to the limits. As she walks the long road of her own modern-day Lamentations, she must learn to forgive... and finally discover that God's mercies truly are new every morning. Sometimes the road home is only found by letting go.

 Met my expectations November 3, 2008
I enjoy Karen Kingsbury books a lot. This book was among one of my favorites.
 Keep the tissue close! July 22, 2008
As usual, this book was hard to put down, but keep the tissue close at hand.
 It was a painful read.. April 18, 2008

I want to preface this review with a truth. I have loved every book by Karen Kingsbury that has graced my hands. This was the first book of hers that I was unable to finish and had to make myself work to get halfway through the book.
A lot of the difficulty was lack of intervention for Jenny (I have not finished this and do not know what happened to her):
1- the school would have stepped in with a counselor even before speaking to a parent.
2- Web searches are heavily monitored for dangerous searches and most results are blocked before students can get to them. I would even hazard a guess that they could track it back to what student did the search.
3- Hannah is a mother first and I don't care how selfish she is... you don't turn your back on your child when they are showing such obvious signs of trouble.
This book just made my insides crawl and even though the book of Lamenations was mentioned and there were a few verses referred to.. The constant presence of humble christians did not seem to exist in this book. WHY did the church family back off? Why wasn't this discussed at all? So much was glossed over that could have opened my eyes and my heart to this story.
I truly hope I enjoy Mrs. Kingsbury's next book as much the books I have read in the past.
The service was exceptional February 13, 2008
I have always been impressed with the service with Amazon. Ms Kingsbury's books also are on my "must read" list so to get this copy in a timely manner was also appreciated.
A thinking book December 24, 2007
I have started this book and I can't seem to put it down. I feel for Jenny because she is so lonely and her mom just doesn't see it. I hope the mom wakes up and see what she is doing before their relationship is lost. I understand she wants to get the guy but she also should remember that there is still someone living that needs her and God.
