Learning by Karen Kingsbury


Although this is book 2 of the Bailey Flanigan Series, it can be read as stand-alone.

Bailey and Cody are separate but continue in each other’s hearts. They may long to be together, but will it happen? Bailey begins to live her dream in New York as a dancer. New York is wonderful or is it? Bailey’s faith is put to the test when the dancers shun her for being selected because she was in a Hollywood film. Bailey has to work harder than ever to prove that she’s cut for the part. She is seeing Brandon Paul who was the co-star with her in the film Unlocked. He is spontaneous and is falling in love with Bailey. Can Bailey return the love?

In the meantime, Cody is a coach for a high school and he has his work cut out for him. The team hasn’t been successful with the last coach. Can Cody who relies on his faith turn the team around? Cody released Bailey due to circumstances beyond his control. He does it because he truly does love Bailey. But, did he make a mistake? He is now seeing Cheyenne who is tugging at his heart as each day goes on.

There is a glimpse of Landon and his health issues in this story and I wanted to know more. But, this is Bailey’s story not Landon’s. I believe the heart of the story is being able to live out your faith in the real world. It’s easy to do that when you are home or amongst your own friends. What about in the middle of being a star? It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the glamour and forget who brought you to that place.

I recommend this book to all of Karen Kingsbury fans. And don’t forget there is another book – Longing to continue with Bailey Flanigan. What will happen next? Guess we’ll have to read and find out.

I was given this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. To learn more about this book, check out http://zondervan.com/9780310276333 .
