I felt like I was there as the story unfolded. I could imagine how the characters looked and acted. The writing let me feel what the characters felt, both the humor and the sorrow. <\/p> <p>There are many parts I liked about the book besides being able to imagine the story. Trusting God, even when He seemed to be far away, sustained the Jacobsons. Their faith was a large part of their lives.
