was surprised by the turn Jakob and Meri's lives took, but I altogether loved the Old Hollywood setting.My enchantment with celebrity biographies is well documented around here, so this story hit a fresh spot.I'll be looking for other historical romances set in the like period.Williams did a tremendous job with characterization, Meri is surrounded by smarmy Hollywood types and I loved the uneasiness of her characters.My favorite villains (Meri's parents) make an appearance too and they are as tight as ever.In All Things is more about finding your way backwards to enjoy rather than falling in bed in the foremost place, so it was a little light on the court than I prefer, but message was deeper and the happily ever afterwards was more satisfying because of it.Want more info?Here's the product description:Jakob and Meri's story continues.Meredith Louis's Hollywood career is at a place of transition. No longer under Majestic Studios control, Meri is exempt to extend her charm as an actress and eventually realize the acknowledgment she desires.Meri and Jakob return to their hometown for the holidays where Meri hopes to reconcile with her parents after a 10 of silence. But afterwards a fateful encounter, Meri is plunged into tumult as old fears resurface in unexpected ways.Jakob, already dealing with unresolved family issues of his own, is further burdened by his unfitness to aid his wife. Can he read to step away and trust God's plan. Will Meri recognize what she already has?In All Things is a history of religion and restoration, cemented in the belief, ".that all things go together for just to them that know God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.My rating:I received an ARC from the source for my good opinion.

Edgy Inspirational Romance: Review- In All Things by Shawna K .
In All Things is the continuation to Shawna K. Williams' No Other and continues the history of Meri and Jakob.Although it could stand alone, I advise you take the outset in the series before picking this one up.I enjoyed No Other, but In All Things eeked past it as my darling of the two.There were several aspects I really loved about this novel.
