I have enjoyed everything by Karen Witmeyer so far and she did not disappoint me with this one. The character had a lot of spunk and committment to her little adopted family. I liked it that she was very protective of her charges. The first half of the book we get acquainted with Charlotte, the three kids in her charge and Stone, the man hired by Lily's grandfather to bring the child back to him. Lily's mother knew she was dying so before she died she requested that Lily be raised by Charlotte. As Stone spent time with Charlotte he comes to realize that the child belongs with Charlotte. About midway in the book the pace picks up and never lets up until the end. I like reading a book that keeps me on edge and this one did not fail in this respect. This book had its share of bad guys. There's Lily's grandfather who only wants the child to advance his riches and then there is Franklin the other tracker the grandfather hired when Stone did not follow through. Franklin is just evil through and through.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bethany House Publishers for providing me an e-copy of this book to read and review. A Worthy Pursuit is due to be released on June 2, 2015.
