When We Were Young (The Baxter Family, #4)

Review: When We Were Young - Book #4 The Baxter Family Series - Karen Kingsbury - October 2018


Getting back into reading Christian fiction, I find that one of the most inspirational and powerful authors is Karen Kingsbury. I find especially her Baxter family books that they tend to be able to get into those dark crevices of your heart and touch you in a way you never expected. Each book is powerful and shows that with God's love anything is possible and miracles never cease to amaze during this series. When We Were Young has a strong focus on a topic that is so vital in today's world - Social Media. Everyone is putting their lives online for fans, money. Influencer status can earn people up to six figures, just by sharing their daily lives constantly with the world. Free products can be earned, just by showing them on your feeds. For Noah and Emily Carter, they built their lives on Social media and created a brand called When We Were Young about their love, their family, and God.  In the beginning, it was great, but now six years later - the cracks are starting to show and do damage to their marriage as Noah is so invested into the social media life and his fans, he doesn't see the fact it's breaking Emily and ruining his actual life. Emily can't take it anymore and asks Noah to move out. That night, Noah's son Aiden asks God for a miracle to keep his Daddy Home and that night God will pull 'A Christmas Carol" on Noah as he will wake up and find himself in the future over three/four occasions and discover the effects of him leaving on his children's lives, so much it will end in tragic circumstances. Can Noah get back to his reality and find the reasons he fell in love with Emily and be the dad he promised to be to Aiden and Olivia before Social Media took over the Carter's lives? Find out in this Christian version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol - When We Were Young by Karen Kingsbury.
