My Thoughts on A Kite on the Wind:

A great final book in the Mended Hearts series.  Just as enjoyable as the first two though none of them are linked together in any way except for the common theme of loss and healing. 

Our main character Claire made a cameo appearance in the first book of the series, An Anchor On Her Heart.  She joins us again for her own book while a few new fun characters are introduced as well.

I have to say I immediately fell in love with the twins.  Mia and Mason are adorable, impish, and need all the love they can get.  Their mother died the year before and their father relocates them to be with his sister so he has support.  Not to mention the dad, Monty, has turned his back on God as he feels God turned his back on him.

Great read.  I do have to comment that these books do not read fast.  A lot of books I can finish in an hour or two.  This series has taken me longer, a good day of reading plus sometimes a bit more.  But they’re good.  Just a lot of content in them.

I’m not sure how she manages to put such good content and hard topics into one book but she’s done it in each of these books!  This time we deal with loss and anger at God.  Plus some hidden secrets that come to light.  I enjoyed being back in the same town as before in this series and seeing some similar places.

Highly recommend not just this book but also this entire series.  The characters are so complex and fun to get to know.  And so much good in here.  Definitely, one that I recommend for a good read.  Not a book that you’re just going to do a fast read on.  You need time to digest some parts of it.
