Editorial Review:
Jack and Molly Campbell enjoyed an idyllic life in their small hometown outside Atlanta with their adopted 4-year-old, Joey. Then they receive the phone call that shatters their world: a social worker delivers the news that Joeys biological father has been released from prison and is ready to start life overbut with his son. When a judge rules that Joey must be returned to his father, the Campbells, in a silent haze of grief and utter disbelief, watch their son pick a dandelion and blow the feathery seeds into the wind. Struggling with the dilemma of following the law, their hearts, and what they know to be morally right, the Campbells find that desperation leads to dangerous thoughts. What if they can devise a plan? Take Joey and simply disappear....LIKE DANDELION DUST.

Rating:  - This was bad!
I don't mind sweetness and light. I don't don't mind religious characters. But I couldn't get through the first chapter. The decriptions of this couple and child were so sicky sweet and phoney even I couldn't stand it. Pass on this.

The book was so interesting to me and I enjoyed the story line. I really was troubled by the sister relationship and the sister's need to be so holy and turn her sister in. I really think this book could have been a 5 star if it wasn't so preachy and stuck more to the story line.

Always great and my wife loves them...that's why I keep buying them for Christmas, anniversaries, her birthday, etc., etc.
Rating: - Another winner from Karen Kingsbury
I enjoy reading fiction with a Christian theme, but don't like to be hit over the head with the message. What I enjoy about Ms. Kingsbury is that she is able to weave the message through the story in a way that is effective, but not so strident that she loses the average reader. This book is no exception.
I found nothing contrived about the storyline - people do lose custody of children as old as Joey, and it's heartbreaking for all concerned. I particularly liked the character of ... Read More
