It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to join the FIRST blog alliance, just click the button. We are a group of reviewers who tour Christian books. A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old...or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!

You never know when I might play a wild card on you!

AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:




My Take: I was really excited to get this book and start it, and I tried three different times to read it and I just couldn't get past page 30. It just didn't hook me. I was so incredibly bummed too, because I really, really wanted to read it. I am so sorry that I don't have a review for this book, because I really wanted to have one.
