Editorial Reviews

With this book, the novel series that began with Sunrise comes full cycle. As the marriage of John Baxter and Elaine finally approaches, one of his family members slides towards a deep personal crisis. At this troubling crossroads, the Baxters must confront both old problems and new challenges.

Library Journal

The final title in the "Sunrise" series (after Sunrise, Summer, Someday) picks up with John Baxter about to sell the Baxter family home and remarry after the death of his beloved first wife. At the same time, Dayne and Katy Matthews have returned to Bloomington to raise a family and run a theater. Fans of the previous 13 Baxter titles will relish catching up with this beloved family and witness its patriarch build a new life in his sunset years. Although Kingsbury's stories tend to be populated with one-dimensional characters and awkward dialog, her novels are best sellers (e.g., the "Redemption," "Firstborn," and "September 11" series), and this title will be in demand. Recommended where Kingsbury is popular.

DECEMBER 2008 - AudioFile

Although this book could stand alone as an inspiring and compelling story, it’s actually the last in the series of 14 books on the lives of the Baxter family. Kingsbury creates depth and individuality for each of the many characters in the story. Narrator Sandra Burr accomplishes the amazing feat of personalizing each character through varying intonation. Her entirely believable characters cover a wide range of ages and emotions. Burr flawlessly transitions from one voice to another—whether that of a young boy teasing his little brother, a mom in labor, or a senior citizen speaking words of love to his fiancée. This is a beautiful story and a well-delivered audiobook. N.L. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
