"Devastatingly beautiful. Rivers leads us through this story and allows us to choose sides while showing us, very clearly, the best side of all which, of course, is God's "

"I liked this book but not my favorite of Francine Rivers. I loved the characters and seeing how The Lord worked in each of there lives but it seemed a little slow and dramatic at times. I love the way that she gently handled a very controversial subject (abortion) with truth and grace."

"Out of hiding and the boy on the wooden box (a memoir) have been good recent reads. Both are WWII youth novels. If you like Francine rivers books you should try mark of the lion series-one of my favourites!"
