I'm pretty sure it was Monica who recommended this to me.

Here's my Goodreads review:

I loved this book from start to finish. Sam's mother was such an extraordinary influence on him. Her strong faith resonated throughout the book and brought about the perfect ending. Will be looking at more books by this author!
