You have two choices. You can let what others think about you dictate your life or you can live the life you were meant to live without worrying about the approval of others. The only approval that matters is His! The elderly Mr. Verne has many words of wisdom for Kylie - but does she hear them?

Stuck in the rut of feeling unworthy, Kylie has a way of jumping into things that she thinks will change that feeling. This incredible story reminds us of what was before and how much that can affect the now. The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, trying to figure out if the new brother is really a brother, if there really are second chances and if forgiveness really is a gift you give yourself. Will she finally learn that His mercies are new every morning, and His grace, immeasurable?

No matter who I am. No matter what I’ve done. Forgiven again.

The author has given us another fabulous romantic suspense that you will not set aside. Between murder, numerous death threats, kidnapping and cryptic notes, this story takes the reader through enough twists and turns to make you dizzy. How much are politicians willing to give up to get where they want to be? Is it possible to be an honest person and hold political office?

This one will keep you wondering all the way through to the end! Why does it matter so much if Kathleen wants to be governor? Who is so against it that they are willing to kill to keep it from happening? Will she ever admit to the world that she gave her baby up? Can she ever forgive herself as God has forgiven her? So many questions that need answers....

"I'll do whatever it takes to win this race. And I dare anyone to stand in my way. Even you. Get out."

Does this sound like a determined man who is involved with a political machine? Can you believe that these words are spoken by an equally determined woman wanting to be the next Governor? As I began this book I found it hard to like the strong-willed Kathleen Phillips and very easy to admire Pastor Ryan Whitestone and his efforts to help this woman that he had loved twenty-five years earlier.

Author Gina Holder weaves a compelling story about this woman who seems determined to win, no matter the cost, and it isn't always an easy story to read. A baby taken away and a father denied knowing that this child existed are just part of this book filled with lies, corruption, betrayal, and a long -lost love. As these hidden secrets and motives are slowly revealed in Forgiven Again, I was finally able to understand, and even sympathize, with all that Kathleen Staten Phillips has endured. Holder beautifully chronicles the path that Kathleen finally travels as she seeks to forgive others, and especially, herself!

"You can sit there, shaking your fist at God all you want, but He's still waiting with open arms to welcome you home."

Forgiven Again is a heartwarming story of forgiveness, redemption, and finding your true purpose in life. There is also a sweet second-chance at love and I recommend it to all who enjoy Christian romantic suspense.
