Redeeming the Past by Linda Goodnight

 First, I loved the dedication to an avid book reader, Susan.  This definitely scored high points for the author!

Second, the story of foster care has touched my heart in such a special way.  I enjoy reading stories about people who have prevailed despite extremely difficult times in their lives.

Third, the characters in the story are so relatable.  I enjoyed the dynamic between Zoey and John Parker.  I also enjoyed how John Parker sought God in everything that he did and also looked for ways to mentor other people.  

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.
