Heathersleigh Homecoming

This third novel in the series inspires you to look at yourself and relationship to others and to God. I was in stiches at some points and in tears at other points. The author is thorough in his description of the times. But most importantly he is thorough in his description of human nature. I can hardly wait until the fourth book is available.

I like Michael Phillips' Heathersleigh series because his characters are real. They experience times of frustration, doubt and the consequences of sin. This book manages to be cerebral and spiritual while following a great plot. Watching Amanda continue to develop through her time at the chalet is rewarding, and following the other Rutherfords' stories evokes just as much empathy. The Rutherfords discover more about their family secrets, and the reconcilation throughout the family is encouraging. This is a great book and I'm looking forward to the final volume of this series.
