Basically a retelling of the prodigal son story, this book takes place in modern day Kansas. Sunny (aka Amy / Sunshine) took off with her share of the inheritance as an 18-year-old. Her older sister Kathy called off her marriage and stayed on the farm to care for her mother, then her father. Twelve years later, Sunny's return makes new waves for Kathy.
I liked it. Jodi thought it was way too sappy. We had a great discussion at Book Club tonight! I love how we all bring different perceptions and attitudes to the books we read. Yes, this one was a little much at times (and the ending was waaaaaay too pat), but there were some good lessons on forgiveness, judgmentalism, and what it means to live out your faith.
