One of her best....please read
This series Family of Fire was excellent, Kevin's story is moving and Chrissie is the icing on the top! I prefer to read series in order and that is the case with this one but all of the stories are well written and can stand alone. The author Lola Grace Stevens is an awesome writer and I would always recommend her books.

I read all the Family of Fire Books to him and we enjoyed them all very much
Since my husband had radiation in 2010, I have read out loud to him over 130 books. I read all the Family of Fire Books to him and we enjoyed them all very much, but was very disappointed that he and his brother along with Tara (triplets) did not reunite with the rest of the siblings and no book is out to conclude this series. My husband was really upset and angry that The Sinner did not have a more conclusive ending.
