I'm late on reading this author, but I'm glad I finally started reading her books.

This book was a really good read. This was the first book I've read from the author. Does anyone know the order in which the series should be read?

This is the first book in the series, and its the story of John King and Connie Rogers. I enjoyed it an it was a great story.

WTH... "John knew that Adam hadn't raped that girl. The other part of the truth would go to the grave with Moses." I read books 2 and 3 before this one and I don't remember "the other part of the truth..." This book did answer questions that I had at the end of book 3. Excellent character development and a great story! Mrs. Cora Lewis's recommendations were spot on as usual. (She's my high school English teacher and the reason I'm a bibliophile more than 25 years later!)

This is more of a "did not finish right now", as the opening scenes are incredibly tragic and affecting. As a fan of J.D. Mason's writing, I would like to read it from beginning to end, but now is not the time.
