    Here is the dramatic story of two young girls, Megan and Jen, who meet in first grade and quickly become inseparable friends.Inseparable, that is, until one of them is snatched away by kidnappers as the other young girl watches helplessly. The remaining child grows up with the haunting memory of her friend's abduction...and absence from her life. Then, sixteen years later, the stunning truth of the disappearanceis revealed. And once again, lives are changed forever.This wonderful and heartrending second novel endears the reader to every character in this intriguing story. A testament to God's ability to “work all things together for good.” A smashing follow-up to the author's well-received first novel, Why the Sky Is Blue.

      The love and care of a family and friends or one another

      "A Window to the World" is a wonderful book. It gives meaning to growing faith in God that a Christian, especially Christian teen, will encounter throughout his or her life. "The canyon - the forbidden, terrifying, amazing, astounding place - had at that very moment become for her a window to the world." This quote has stuck out in my mind throughout the book as something that everyone can relate to once they read this book. It goes on saying that, "She would not be able to explain it in so many words, not for several years, but the canyon was suddenly a picture of all she knew about life." I like those two quotes, because everyone goes through struggles in life and in a way, life is like a canyon, many things holding you back, but once you conquer it, its an amazing feeling. This book is very good book for seeing what can happen when you trust God and when ones faith grows in God.

      Covering a span of about 15 years, this novel tells the story of what happens in the aftermath of a kidnapping - to the child left behind. Megan's process of maturing, colored by the traumatic event of her young life, is an interesting one. As Christian fiction, this novel also explores the ways in which Megan's faith in God is questioned and considered and ultimately strengthened, as well as giving her insight and strength. An enjoyable read.
