Yet another incredible book by Karen Kingsbury. I have been waiting it seems AGES to read this book. :D

This is a departure from the Baxter Family as the lead characters, but they are still there in the book. Bailey Flanigan takes a bigger role in this book than she had in the Baxter series's. It's really nice as a reader to not totally leave behind the characters that I'd grown to love so much, yet being introduced to new characters that are just as unique and exciting to learn about.

Chase and Keith met in college. Then they were missionaries in Indonesia. Now they are set to produce a movie designed to change lives. And it is being filmed in Bloomington. This is no accident, as Keith's daughter is attending school there. Keith wants to be near Andi and he and his wife have concerns about their daughter, who grew up in a totally different world, the jungles of Indonesia.

Andi is Bailey's roommate. She is a "good" girl bent on experiencing life, even if it's not what she was taught and knows in her heart it is wrong. Will she lose herself in the process?

As for the movie, it's a race to finish before the money runs out, unless they can find more money. They reach the end of their money, Keith is starting to tell the crew that they are out of money, even though the movie is not done. But Chase bursts in and stops him. Turns out an interview they gave for ET caught someone's attention, someone willing to invest!

I was so excited to read this book. And now I can't wait to run upstairs and grab "Take Two"!!
