It's nice to see authors take a chance and aim for a different direction that may not be as popular!

Ms. Parent made a very brave move by publishing a book that is very different, and doesn't fall in to any of the current reading trends. I'm glad that you enjoyed this, and can see what a huge fan that you are of this author!

Most of the time it doesn't bug me as long as it isn't too preachy. The fact that the main characters are not religious and go through such a gigantic event would be interesting.

I don't mind books with religion in it, as long as they are not overall preachy but this sounds like it's not. Just that it's been set in biblical times in itself is not something I see everyday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209774851625668155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-18982094298729824942014-02-10T01:32:35.097-08:002014-02-10T01:32:35.097-08:00I have this series on my kindle, as well as her ot...I have this series on my kindle, as well as her other book Precious Things. I actually got them because I wanted something that a little different to what's out there.
