Summary: One of my favorite Winslow books
Review: Thank the Lord Morris is continuing the Winslow series into the 1920s. This one was very good. It kept me wondering more and more about this James Parker character, so the suspense level was high. I really felt like I got to know Jared and Emily in the beginning. References were made to characters from other books and short recollections were made to events from other books...folks who haven't read the other books yet might get annoyed by this, but they helped me get the know the Winslow family as a whole and put the whole series in perspective. And we get to see Belle Winslow again, this time as an older lady. We find out what happened to Mark, Thad, Davis, and a few other key Winslow family members as they grew old. This made it more interesting to me. I like to see all the characters in the family interact across the entire series..these are not just a set of disjointed books. Some of the story details in the references to earlier books were not consistent, but these were small parts of the whole picture.

This book taught me a lot about forgiveness, and how hard it is to forgive someone who really sticks you a big one. Emily held out for a long time, but she eventually learned she had to forgive the one who hurt her the most, and Ian makes a wonderful transition in his life. This is a wonderful message that Morris shares with us about God throughout the story.

Summary: Very Good Book
Review: This is an adventure story. I think there are only 1 or 2 others that are,and it was a lot of fun to read. The book is enhanced by knowing the family history, starting with the first H of W book. They are well worth reading.
