"In her sophomore outing and excellent follow-up to After the Leaves Fall, Baart continues her saga of Julia DeSmit with the same careful prose and enjoyable storytelling she showed in her debut...Baart communicates deep spiritual themes with a light touch. She also has a knack with characterization, and wise words come from both expected and unexpected places. This is a treat for faith fiction readers, and proves Baart is not just a one-hit wonder."

Publishers Weekly

"Baart's sequel to After the Leaves Fall is beautifully written. The prose will resonate with readers as the flawed characters speak to our humanity. The author's grasp on the thought processes and maturity of a young adult Julia is stunning, and she is portrayed incredibly realistically."
