Lovely Family Saga

Makes me reflect on what makes for a solid family foundation. Is there really such a thing as a soul mate?

This story gives hope. I totally enjoyed it and could not stop listening.

clinical story that could have been great

Wow, potential to be such an awesome unique story, but Ms Steele mustn't have liked it much. felt more like a first draft waiting for the heart and substance part and a decent editor. I love some of her books and didn't hate this one. Just was unremarkable and a bit disappointing.

In His Father’s Footsteps: it reminds me of my father and me

I came across this book at the bookstore where I used to made an appointment to meet my father in front when he was alive.
I like this story so much because it reflects my life as a wife, a mother, and a lady beyond generations and nationalities.
Especially including with so lovely ending! This gave me so much hope to stay positively.
