Michelle SuttonArizonaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5July 31, 2007Michelle SuttonArizonaAge: 45-54Gender: female(My review as seen in ACFW's E-zine, the August edition.)Return to Me by Robin Lee Hatcher is a powerful example of the ideal Christian fiction novel. It parallels the story of the prodigal son and was so engaging that I finished the story in one day. I just couldnt put it down. I identified with Roxy despite her many flaws.Roxys change of heart when she discovered Christ in an unlikely setting reminded me of my own personal experience. I remember the same still, small voice calling out to me until I finally gave my heart to the Lord. Of course, Roxys older sister Elena decided Roxy needed to experience additional consequences for her sin. Like what Roxy had naturally suffered as a result of squandering her inheritance hadnt been painful enough, and not realizing, of course, all that her sister had already lost because of her poor choices. Ive never seen a better example of how self-righteousness wounds new believers and destroys relationships and trust.Return to Me is also a wonderful illustration of the emotional and spiritual fallout resulting from manipulative rejection, and the believers need for a close walk with the Lord in order to resist pride and jealousy when new Christians succeed where they may have struggled. Thus the spiritual arc of the characters comes across as very genuine, especially when it comes to the older sisters attitude.There are some gritty situations in this story, but nothing I wouldnt let my teenager read. Overall, its a fabulous example of the regrets people experience as the result of poor choices, and the subsequent struggle to forgive ones self. The author concludes by portraying the Scripture that refers to all things being possible through Christ Jesus. I highly recommend this story because of the life-changing lessons within.

Deborah Raney5 Stars Out Of 5June 22, 2007Deborah RaneyKept me guessing how it would turn out till the very end. A wonderful story, wonderful reflection of the story of the prodigal son, with a message that will touch people from all walks of life! I'd waited a long time for this book to finally come out, and it was definitely worth the wait! Robin Lee Hatcher remains one of my favorite authors.

Catherine Martin5 Stars Out Of 5June 18, 2007Catherine MartinThere is a little Roxy in each of us, and we can always hope for grace to be extended. Robin Lee Hatcher tells a wonderful story that is an encouragement to readers. She reminds us that as we receive grace, so must we extend the same to others. Readers will enjoy characters that remind them of themselves and others....the situation that Roxy and family find themselves in, may be similar to that in our own families, and as with all Robin's books, a biblical lesson is set before us. Great read! A must for the summer. Thank you once again Robin Lee Hatcher for another wonderful book.

Paula5 Stars Out Of 5June 16, 2007PaulaWOW!! This book is deserving of all the superlatives I've seen in other reviews, and then some! I've read many retelling of the Prodigal Son, but never one that captured my heart as this one did. Not only did it touch my heart, it made me think. Like others have said, we all tend to identify most closely with one particular character in the story, but Robin has a knack for helping readers relate to all the characters. Please don't miss this one- it is a must!!!
