In addition, someone seems to be stalking Melanie and her kids and Brian. While there is no intimacy going on in this story, Brian struggles with a past sin...
I appreciated the introduction to the Catholic faith that I received while reading All In Good Time by Carolyn Astfalk. I admired Brian and Melanie for their faith. I laughed out loud when Brian made his statement about wanting a pew full of children of his own someday. I loved the interaction between Brian and the three children as they got to know each other. I enjoyed going on their outings with them as they had picnics, went hiking, enjoyed carnival rides, swimming, and cookouts. This book has both laughter and tension. The situation with the stalker increased the suspense. I was totally surprised by the identity of the stalker. This was my first book by this author and I would be glad to read more by her.
