I just finished reading Leaving by Karen Kingsbury, and I loved her latest book about the Bailey Flanigan that we have come to love through her other books! Some people think that Karen should have wrapped up the love story between Cody and Bailey before now, but I personally have enjoyed watching Bailey grow up and continue her journey in love and life.In this book, we see different people in the Flannigan's lives "leaving" from the places they have been for so long. It is a hard place to be in when you are the one being "left" behind, but so exciting for the one that is actually spreading your wings and doing what God has planned for your life. I have continued to love the connection and closeness that Bailey is able to share with her mom as she grows up. Some may see that as unrealistic, but I think that this type of relationship is wonderful and one that we should all strive to have with our children.
I am looking forward to the release of Learning in a couple of weeks to see what happens next in the Bailey series! I highly recommend Leaving by Karen Kingsbury which Zondervan sent complimentary to me to read and review. All opinions on this book are my own. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did!
