The Chance
Karen Kingsbury · 2013
70/100
👍 Worth It
A faith-centered story about two childhood friends and a promise kept, with real emotional payoff for readers who like Kingsbury's style. It leans hard into sentiment - some reviewers call her books 'weepers' for a reason - but the heart behind it is genuine.
