I’ve read it twice! Beautiful story the first time through. Fell in love with it the second time. Her characters, their circumstances, and how they grow in faith and trust will draw you in and hold you ’til the end. Sal deserves a best-supporting actress award from the academy! Candace’s stories speak to deep places of the heart. Dogwood Winter certainly can be a stand-alone, but I highly recommend adding the series to your library.
