Everyone knows that Ariana does not get rejected.

Used to getting her own way, Ariana grew up having her daddy wrapped around her little finger—and he still is. As an adult, she goes through life expecting that all men will give into her whims. When the one man she sets her sights on won’t give her the time of day, Ariana is truly baffled.

Matt avoids Ariana whenever possible. The young woman has no way of knowing that she reminds Matt of his mother and the heartbreaking memories that he worked hard to bury. If Matt has his way, there won’t ever be a reason to discuss the issue.
But when Ariana’s life is turned upside down, and rumors about Matt could destroy everything that he’s worked so hard to achieve, it will take a heavenly amount of grace to prevent history from repeating itself. Will Matt and Ariana accept God’s plan for their lives?

More from Cheri

Have you ever thought about how different two siblings’ lives could turn out, even though they were raised by the same parents in the same household? Two sisters, one the middle child and one the baby of the family. One always considered “less than,” the other the golden child … until she’s not.

Book 5 in The Redemption of Green Pines series, Path to Grace, shows us what happens when one sister has been favored her whole life, until she falls off the pedestal due to one mistake.

Join the community of Green Pines as life unravels for Ariana. Will her siblings rally around her despite how she treated them her whole life, or will she be left on her own to figure out what to do now?

If you’d like to read the whole story, I’d suggest you start with Book 1, Adventure’s Invitation, but if you’re simply curious about the differences Wynn and Ariana face, I invite you to start with Book 4, Road to Freedom, and get introduced to Wynn and what her life is like living in the same household as Ariana, her baby sister, and Randy, her big brother. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing like you imagined it would be.

My Thoughts

Path to Grace is written by Cheri Swalwell. This is the fifth book in the Redemption of Green Pines series. I have not read all the books in the series, and I did not have any issues following along. Ariana has grown up getting everything that she wants. She has learned the art of manipulation and using others to get what she wants.

She then finds herself pregnant. Her father is so very angry and she goes to the House of Grace. She expects everyone to judge her for actions, but she finds grace, love and friends. This part reminded me of my own journey. I was pregnant at 15. My parents were furious with me. I also went to a home for expectant mothers.

Matt is new in his relationship with Christ. He is working on healing from his past including his mother. Ariana reminds him of his mother. So he tries to avoid her. However, Ariana finds herself in a bit of a predicament and he knows that he has to help. Will he sacrifice his reputation.

The author has written a beautiful story about trusting God. He can change your life and heal you from pain and hurt that you have buried so deep inside. The story is well written. The characters are real feeling.

Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
