My Review
I enjoyed each of these quick read novellas, and they kept my attention, just wished that they were a little longer!
Each story involves a broken relationship, although for very different reasons.
The first story "Do You See What I See?" at times had my heart in my throat, there is a lot of danger, especially with young children involved!
The second "Do You Hear What I Hear?", a young lawyer awakes to find her ex sleeping in her home! There is so much going on here and she needs help, will they make it in time?
The third "Do You Know What I Know?" and we are in Alaska/Louisiana, and again we are with a broken relationship, but there is a lot more going on here. We are offered betrayal, cooking competition, and danger.
These are great Christian reads, with a theme of forgiveness!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kregel, and was not required to give a positive review.

Painkillers
are a problem, but not all people in pain turn to drugs for the
answers. Some people isolate themselves from others, believing they can
avoid more pain if they don’t get close to anyone. Others take the
opposite approach, surrounding themselves with unhealthy relationships
to try and avoid dealing with the pain and emptiness they feel. It’s
also common for people to bury themselves in other things—such as
sports, shopping, or other “idols”—keeping busy so they don’t have to
think about their pain. People even hide behind a mask of “intellect” to
shield themselves.
