Release Date: February 25
How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?
Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him—especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.
But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again.
But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.
If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she’s always loved him, and always will…
Great and Precious Things is a heart-wrenching story about family, betrayal, and ultimately how far we're willing to go on behalf of those who need us most.

I have a confession- I’m not really sure where to start with telling you about this book. I know I need more than Great and Precious Things is awesome, but trying to do that without giving a ton away is hard.
I think the best way to describe Great and Precious things is evocative. By using two interesting and dynamic people in Cam and Willow as our story tellers, Ms Yarros takes us on a pretty emotional journey.
We see family relationships challenged and reshaped, preconceived notions turned upside down, grief, guilt, unrequited love, friendship, and devotion just to name a few things touched on in this story.
I genuinely liked Cam and Willow and found myself rooting for them. I enjoyed watching them go to bat for each other and seeing how that faith paid off.
I didn’t really know what to expect going in to this read - other than I knew it would be good. What I got wasn’t just good, it was great and seeing love like this was a pretty precious thing too.

I’m also a military wife of sixteen years. During my husband’s deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I was devouring a book a day, and during his third deployment, I finally wrote my own. With a somewhat ironic timing, I received my book deal for Full Measures during his fourth deployment, and published a month after he returned home. We’re currently preparing for his fifth deployment, so check out the blog for the latest!
On the homefront, we have six kids. Yes, you read that right—six. If I’m not writing or playing guitar, I’m usually tying hockey skates for our four boys, or sneaking in John Hughes marathons with my two daughters. We fostered and adopted our youngest daughter from the foster system and we’re passionate about helping others do the same through our non-profit, One October! We’re always busy navigating the winding road of our daughter’s recent autism diagnosis, getting our boys to hockey, prepping for a deployment, and generally trying to stay sane. We’re die-hard Mets fans, but our hearts call Colorado home.
If you’ve read all of that, haven’t fallen asleep, and still want to know more about me, check out my blog: http://www.rebeccayarros.com/blog!
