Product Description
Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison have concluded their first feature film, and Hollywood is buzzing with the news. In the wake of that excitement, the producers buy rights to a novel that has all the ingredients they want for their next project. At the same time they cross paths with a well-connected player who introduces them to the right people, and suddenly every studio in town wants to talk to Chase and Keith. The producers’ dreams are on the verge of coming right, but Chase’s marriage is strained and Keith’s daughter—Andi Ellison—is building questionable choices in her quest for stardom. The producers are gaining respect and are on the verge of truly changing culture through the power of film—but is the change worth the cost?

I would question Mrs. Kingsbury to give prayerful consideration to the portrayal of people of different races in her book. This book had a surprisingly high number of blue-eyed blondes as the protagonists, agreed the relatively tiny part of the population that make up that demographic. I lost count after a while of being introduced to one blue-eyed character after another. There was an exception, a non-white character, but he was open as a name who tried to lure a nice girl into inappropriate activity.
I don’t imagine that the leader meant this to be malicious – it may be simply a coincidence. But it is so vital even for Mrs. Kingsbury’s own children (a diverse group through adoption) to see tales that show a wide range of characters in the protagonist role. Not just showing non-white characters as the recipients of Western generosity during mission trips or similar, but as the main characters themselves. Even some of the Caucasian characters would logically have brown eyes or brown hair.
I am a blue-eyed blonde myself, just like the leader. Nothing incorrect with that. We’ve been well represented in this book; maybe the next book can be for some of the dark haired people we like so much. Thank you for your consideration, and may God bless your gorgeous family tree, and all of persons who read your faithful tales.

what a disappointing Karen Kingsbury novel. Additional reviews have agreed very excellent plot synopsis, so I won’t bother with that. What I find disappointing is that this book just stops in the middle of the tale, or rather, tales. There were several conflicts introduced, and none of them were resolved. While the book hints that Kelly is on the way to recovery, anyone who has ever battled depression or watched a name else battle depression, you know that you don’t just “get over it.” Depression is a compound imbalance in the brain (kudos to Mrs. Kingsbury for pointing that out to people!), and it takes time to recover. So, while Kelly may have establish a returning point to God, the situation with Chase is far from resolved. Frankly, it takes two, and so far Chase doesn’t seem to accept his responsibility for his part in Kelly’s problems. (I trust that at some point, Mrs. Kingsbury is going to have Chase accept his responsibility for his neglect of Kelly and their marriage, but so far that hasn’t happened.) Regardless, Kelly is the only “resolution” that the novel offers, and it’s truly no resolution at all.
I hope this is just aberration for Mrs. Kingsbury, but in all honesty, I’m disappointed in her and her publishing house for publishing this half tale. I expect better, and for the money spent, deserve better. For anyone whose never read a Karen Kingsbury novel, go read any additional KK novel. They are all 5-Star. Don’t start with Take One or Take Two. For best in my opinion, start with the Redemption series. Persons are really 10+ stars!

I’ve not finished this book but I place in a request for the book before it ever went for sale. I loved the first of the Above the Line Series Take One and could hardly wait for the next. It uses characters from many of her additional series.

I really loved the Baxters’ series but I just can’t get into the Above the Line series. I disliked many things about this book, including how Chase and Keith seemed to permanently place their families second to their work but that was okay because their work was a mission from God. I also was disappointed with how the Andi/Tax storyline played out. As a book, it basically said that what Andi did was right because it was “art”. Perhaps there are repercussions in the following books but it still didn’t sit right with me. I just don’t tell to the Bailey/Cody/Andi tales and feel they are to some extent unrealistic. I was disappointed with the (lack of) ending. I’m tempting to just read some spoiler reviews on the third book to see what happens because I don’t have much of a desire to read the whole thing.

I bought this book for my 14 yr ancient sister who has been checking out the series from the library. The library did not have this one in the series so we bought it for her. She likes Karen Kingsbury.
