I really enjoyed this story. I thought the way the story of Lena's past was presented was done so with grace, and though not everyone chose to believe her (at least at first), those who had come to understand her heart did believe, and Lena was able to learn to trust in the kind Heavenly Father her friends told her about, and move forward into the future with faith.That said, I loved these characters so much that I wish there had been a sequel.

But this is minor, and
