Forgiven by Karen Kingsbury

The second book in the firstborn series. Neither Dayne or Katy can keep from thinking about each other, but neither of them will contact each other. Katy is in the middle of casting her next show with the Christian kids theater and Dayne is coming to her hometown to shoot his next movie that was suppose to star Katy.

Tragedy strikes when a drunk driver kills two of the kids in the production and Katy works through the forgiveness process with them. Kingsbury writes about the emotion and struggle it is to see people through the eyes of God.

Dayne makes plans to see Katy as they spend some time together away from the limelight of Hollywood - hiking and enjoying their time together - even if it is not going to last. Dayne also meets his sister, Ashley, for the first time, but cannot share that they are related.

The ending is wonderful as Katy reaches out to Dayne to share about Jesus and the bible. It seems to fail at first, but God gets a hold of Dayne and won't let go until he comes back to Him. This is not the end of the story, but it gives hope for the future now that Dayne has found the forgiveness that he has so needed.

Great Read.
