Amanda Rutherford's homecoming is complicated by thoughts of her future, but as she and her family wonder what God's plans are for them, He reveals His direction in unexpected ways, and all the secrets and mysteries of Heathersleigh Hall come to light.
Michael Phillips did a good job of bringing the Heathersleigh series to a conclusion in this book. True to his style, Phillips faithfully explored the ideas of the time, whether they're popular now or not. He provided direction for each of the characters' futures, and I liked the further development of Geoffrey and his relationships. Timothy Diggorsfeld's storyline seems a bit contrived. I was satisfied with the way Phillips explored the relationship of God to man and ideas of forgiveness. I felt rewarded by the revelation of the mystery that has built about the Rutherfords' family secrets -- but Phillips told the story in a way that made me feel like I was part of the discovery instead of having him just unload an unsuspected surprise on me at the end. All in all, a worthwhile book for the mind and soul -- as well as being a good read, if you've enjoyed the three preceding books in the series.
