After a pool party disaster, Peter doesn't know how to handle his guilt and begins to distance himself from his family.

Another wonderful Kinsbury/Smalley book about the Baxter family. I enjoy the writing and the characters are wonderful! ( )

Karen Kingsbury wrote the book Rejoice with the help of Gary Smalley. The book is about the Baxter family, who is going through many problems in their life. Their eldest daughter, Brooke, is struggling keeping her marriage going and she almost loses her daughter, Haley. After the accident of Brooke’s daughter her husband, Peter, has a mental break down because he blames himself for it and wants to divorce Brooke. Peter and Brooke come to realize what happened with their relationship and work to get it back together. Peter, Brooke, Haley, and the whole Baxer family are the main characters of this story. The cover of the story shows a picture of a white house with a blue sky and green plants around it. The house looks inviting and cozy. There is also a picture of a lady looking a little distressed. By looking at the cover it gives lots of ideas on what this book could be about but not enough that it gives the book away which I like about it. People should read this book if they enjoy love stories with a mix of sadness put in. Most high school girls would enjoy this book. ( )
