Brilliantly written & moving in so many ways; Mingerink once again captures her audience and catapults us into an adventure for our souls, as well as our hearts. And what a strong and amazing ending. The suspense, the torture our hero endures, and also the hope that shines through; keeps you on the edge of your seat. Thankfully, I was left with a smile upon my face and an eagerness to see what else lies ahead for this cast of characters.
