About Beth K. Vogt
God’s best is often found behind the doors marked “Never.”
So many times I approached life with with a virtual roll of yellow duct tape emblazoned with the word NEVER. Over and over again I sealed off certain opportunities.
I would never marry a doctor or anyone in the military.
I would never have children.
I would never write fiction.
I would never marry a doctor or anyone in the military.
I would never have children.
I would never write fiction.
And don’t you know God stripped off the duct tape and walked me through each of those NEVER doors?
Have you ever marked a door NEVER … only to discover his best waited where you said you’d never go?
Following God through that door doesn’t mean we’re on “easy street,”‘even though we’re where he wants us to be.
My Thoughts
Sisters! With each book of this series Ms. Vogt evokes a roller coaster of emotions. These Thatcher sisters are flawed, real, and frustrating. As a mother of three daughters I have watched my girls love each other and hate each other at the same time. I say that to say that Beth Vogt's characters are real on every level and these sisters are learning how to navigate the waters of being adults not only as sisters but with the disappointments and trials life brings.
Even with all the heartbreaking situations that Ms. Vogt puts her characters in she weaves a thread of hope throughout the entire story.
One of the best quotes from the book comes from Jillian's friend Harper . . . It’s not about breast cancer….Or anything else that might happen.”…”That’s not the common ground you stand on. You love Geoff. He loves you. That’s your common ground. And nothing else– …should ever come between you.
How many times do we allow ourselves to get caught up in the circumstances of life and totally forget the common ground we stand on.
I am sad to see this series come to an end. It feels like saying good-bye to dear friends. If you enjoy books with real characters dealing with real life issues that gives hope then you need to read this series! This finale can standalone but I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series first.
