5 Star review from Library Thing
I don't give out 5 stars very often, but this story I felt deserved it. The author, Kinzie Monroe weaved into her story the salvation message so well and the story line was so unique and heartfelt. Leah is a beyond wealthy business woman who has a heart to share her riches with folks she meets in need. She is dying from cancer and knows her last days will be painful and she will be helpless. So. . . she calls on 5 friends and Kirby an attorney she has just met, and plans a weekend get-a-way for them all at her mansion. Her purpose - to have each of them plan how they would kill her without it looking like a murder. She is willing to pay them $300 million. When her friends come together (who have never met each other before) they have such a love for this woman that they don't think they can go through with it.
The way all these characters interact with each other and the conversations throughout this book had me so wrapped up in the story that I couldn't stop thinking about it, even when I wasn't reading it. Some of the characters are believers in the Lord as their Saviour, and the impact they have upon the others, the questions they face within themselves and the questions they face with the others are so real and so well dealt with that I just wanted to meet the author and say "Thank you" for a job well done! You will not be disappointed if you read this book!!!

Will Leah continue with treatment and realize what she wants to do is wrong. As Kirby falls for Leah's old boyfriend Jonah will things work out for them. As we follow this group of friends on a weeks amazing journey, we see lives changed, new friends made and faith grow stronger. Did the Lord place Kirby there for a reason or did he work through Leah to bring all her friends together . We do know one thing for certain "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." As one reads this book they will understand the true meaning of this verse.
This is an excellent inspirational novel that is recommended for all ages from young adult up. It makes one wonder if we were in this position, what would we do. Would money override our conscience or would we forever feel guilty .
