ARC book review
Miracles at Promise Lodge is a wonderful read. Along with the moments that had me smiling were moments that were sweet. tender and endearing, moments of faith, moments that had me pondering and reflecting, and even moments that were totally unexpected, which caused a tad bit of surprise and shock. However, this made for a good mix that added much to the story. Although I enjoyed catching up with characters from earlier in the series, once the new characters were added in, I struggled a bit to keep everyone and their stories straight which is what has me at a 4.5 rating that rounded to 4 stars. Still, in all, it was a very enjoyable story.
