#37 - Sunrise by Karen Kingsbury

(336 pgs) Whew, the characters I loved so much from the Redemption series and the Firstborn series are still here! I'm so glad they are included in this series also! This is the first in the Sunrise series, and again, I loved the book. The characters are really life like, could be my neighbors. I wish I could go to Bloomington and meet them! Here is what Karen's site says about this one:

Sunrise is the first book in this new series continuing on with the lives of the Baxters from The Redemption Series as well as Dayne and Katy from the Firstborn Series.

In preparation for their wedding day, Dayne Matthews and Katy Hart are determined to keep the ceremony a secret from the paparazzi.

John Baxter is thrilled that his oldest son will settle down a few miles away, but he isn’t sure how any of his kids will handle a situation he can no longer run from—the feelings he’s having for his friend Elaine.

Meanwhile, the Flanigan family is struggling with their young border, Cody Coleman, the star receiver on Jim Flanigan’s football team.
Sunrise is a story about God’s unending faithfulness and the promise of new beginnings.

Can't wait to read Summer!
