My Thoughts:  A Wonderful Story!

This is a wonderful story of love, redemption, and forgiveness! It's a reminder of the impact that our choices and actions have, be they positive or negative, and how long lasting the impact of those choices can last.  In this case, Zach Miller finds out just how much of an impact his actions still have. Working to seek forgiveness, to let go of sad memories of his past family situations, reaffirm his faith, and be accepted into his new community is no easy task, but Zach is determined.  One step at a time and one day at a time Zach begins to the fruits of his efforts, until an incident threatens to derail all he's worked for. 

I felt Zach's struggle deep down in my core. Forgiveness, not just about receiving forgiveness from others, but forgiving himself, was gut wrenching.  But Zach pushed forward in his determination to do the right thing and this brought not just forgiveness, but redemption and even love.  All of these elements make this beautiful story one that is not to be missed.
