REVIEW: THE ATONEMENT CHILD

Author : Francine Rivers Genre : Fiction (Christian) Year Of Publication : 1997 My Rating : 5 Stars SUMMARY Dynah Carey's life is just as she'd always dreamed it would be.

"Rivers proves once more she can keep readers transfixed and wanting more." -Christian Retailing MY VERDICT This story literally had me in tears :') I guess it's quite obvious now that i'm obsessed with christian fiction, because I always award them 5 sta
