Synopsis

Virginia Simpson has learned that grandma Marty was right to insist that when God allows something to be taken from you, he replaces it with something better. The return of Jonathan, their renewed courtship, and the upcoming wedding are all shining examples of that. Still though, the trials and disappointments of Virginia's life weigh heavily on her and the inner strength that has continued to build in her is far from completion. The first test of her new resolve comes soon after her marriage. Waiting for their house to be completed, the couple has no choice but to live with Jonathan's grandmother. Although Virginia loves the woman, she struggles with having to share her new husband's time. When the house is completed, even greater obstacles arise, challenging both the couple's fledgling love as well as Virginia's inner peace. But like gold refined, Virginia will emerge as a woman of character and godliness.

This is the continuing saga of Virginia Simpson. It follows her spiritual and emotional struggles as she works through a wedding, adoption, birth, and death of a grandmother.

Goodreads review by Mandie on August 09, 2024

3.5 stars, rounded up. This had a sweet premise, but everything just felt so rushed. The copy I had was 250 pages, but should have been more like 400 with all the content. Overall, great book, but a let down after the first two.......more

Goodreads review by Audrey Kate on May 30, 2021

I am reading these so rapidly, I love them so far! I would have to say number two in the series is my favorite at the moment, but onto the next (and final) book in the set. Definitely recommend! The struggles that Virginia face are easily relatable--the want for attention, frustration, annoyance--I......more
