Nicki's tasked with making New Hope the perfect place for orphaned children. So why has everything gone wrong?
Six weeks after leaving China, Nicki Mayfield returns to complete two critical tasks: restore order at New Hope Orphanage and re-connect with Lei Ming, the little girl who stole her heart. However, a stonewalling supervisor, missing documents, and personal tragedy ensure Nicki faces challenges at every turn. Is she the best person to bring order – and longevity – to the place these children call home?
Then, with the help of an unexpected ally, Nicki makes a life-altering decision. One that has the potential to upend her well-planned life and the lives of those around her. Will she lose it all, or has she found a way to save what matters most?
MY REVIEW
I loved being back in China! Perfectly Placed picks right back up where Perfectly Arranged left off and Nicki is back in town and ready to get the New Hope orphanage organized! Learning even more about Chinese culture was such a treat, especially seeing how families celebrate Chinese New Year as well as how Christians are able to worship.
The Chinese Proverbs that start each chapter are such a nice touch, as they give a clue as to what is coming. This novel tackles some deep topics, while also unpacking a huge mystery, so having those little wisdom nuggets also help you guess on what’s coming next. This story is quite the rollercoaster, ebbing and flowing, going from good, to bad, to catastrophic as it twists and turns through some pretty rough terrain. There were moments I caught myself audibly growling, feeling the darkness from one particular character, and other moments I would sigh with hope. Perfectly Placed truly has all the feels!
Ben is the ultimate knight in shining armor, and Julia is truly an angel, both characters gleaming brilliantly in this story as their faith is repeatedly exemplified, both giving strength to Nicki as she fights for her job and for what she feels the Lord is putting on her heart to do. With their support Nicki grows deeper in her faith, and in turn becomes fearless in her pursuit for justice, the truth, and her heart.
One random thing that I loved bearing witness to was seeing Nicki not only speak her prayers, but also write them. I too write a lot of my prayers and very rarely see that in Christian novels, which was quite refreshing for me. I love that the faith aspect feels organic and doesn’t feel forced at all and especially loved the story of the Red Thread, both the story itself, and how it ties into this story seamlessly.
I devoured Perfectly Placed even quicker than I did the first book in the series, and feel even deeper in love with this story and these characters. It has such a genuine feel and is so full of heart it’s contagious. I seriously cannot wait to read the next installment, but I will have to impatiently wait. One thing I know for sure is that it'll be worth the wait as this series just gets better and better!
