Description: A Painful Absence, a Desperate Heart . . . Is It Too Late to Find Lettie Byler?
Grace Byler longs to uncover the secret that drove her mother to leave the family weeks ago. When all hopes are dashed for such a search, an unlikely friendship leads to a surprising invitation.

My Rating 5/5
To be honest, I enjoyed this one more than the first. Yes, the first book laid out the storyline, but it felt like it was dragging. This one had much more action and exciting developments.
