Under the Jacaranda is the compelling and touching sequal to Nikki Arana's Winds of Sonoma. After topping the charts as one of the top ten reads in Christian Literature, Nikki once again answers the desire of her readers with a story of dreams, hopes and the will and faith to overcome the obstacles that life throws in our path. The story opens with the beloved characters you came to know and admire in the first book beginning a new phase in their lives. As you read this epic tale sweeps you along. It is easy to identify with the struggles of the heroine and hero as their marriage, faith and trust is tested by both internal and external forces. I give this story a two thumbs up rating. If you loved the prequel you will be surprised and touched by the next phase in the story Under the Jacaranda Tree by Nikki Arana.
