Summary

This is the story of a simple potter’s life, Isaac .  Isaac’s life was shaped by much loss and love.  Jake Kimball and Amy Eckstein’s relationship progresses to more than friends, as they realize they don’t want to live without one another.

This series simply makes me want to be a better person.   I love the quotes Behunin includes throughout his work.  However, for me, Book 2 was a bit heavy on the preaching.  Book 2 helps to build a  foundation for Book 3.  I look forward to reading the final installment.
