Growing up I loved the Christy Miller series. However
Christy wasn’t my character, her best friend Katie Weldon was my favorite. I
felt like I related to Katie more than I did to Christy. Katie likes to do things without thinking
things through.
In Finally and
Forever the fourth book in the Katie Weldon and possibly the last book. Though
I would love to see more of Katie’s story to find out what happens with her an
Eli. Katie has graduated from college
she prayed for a sign of what to do with the whole Eli and Africa thing. She
has gotten plenty of signs that point towards going to Africa.
Katie takes the plunge and follows Eli to Africa. Finally and Forever is pretty much about
Katie’s life adjusting to life in Africa and the Adventures in Africa. One of
my favorite quotes from the whole series is in this book and it is a quote that
Eli says to Katie.
“I told them that
when you were born, God was so delighted that He sent a hundred angels to kiss
you while you were in your mother's arms. Every place where the angels kissed
you, they left a tiny dot. That way, if you ever forget how greatly you are loved
by God, all you have to do is look at your skin, and you will remember.” Robin
Jones Gunn
Even though I don’t want the Katie Weldon series to end, Finally and Forever does give a
conclusion to the series.
You do not know how much I am smiling right now. This series is never on anybody's blogs, but I loved it! I liked Christy's relationships and all, but I agree with you, I related more towards Katie. It made me even more excited when it was about Africa because I've been dreaming of going there for years. Love the quote and love the review!
ReplyDeleteMy friend got me hooked on the Christy Miller series, but I had a hard time relating to Christy, because Christy came from a Christian family. I didn't but when I meet Katie I could relate because Katie didn't grow up in a Christian home. So Katie was the character I could relate to.
