Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison have completed their first feature film, and Hollywood is buzzing with the news. In the wake of that excitement, the producers acquire rights to a novel that has all the ingredients they want for their next project. At the same time they cross paths with a well-connected player who introduces them to the right people, and suddenly every studio in town wants to talk to Chase and Keith.

Real life situations and true to life struggles, make this an excellent read.Andi, a missionary's kid, now in college struggles to keep her purity. Taz, in college with Andi, seeks to win more than Andi's heart.Fillmakers, Chase Ryan, and Keith Ellison seek to make Christian movies in a hostile Hollywood arena.Relationships and marriages are strained, while sin gradually creeps in with its subtle hints that all is okay. Weaving all the broken pieces together was God. After finishing the bookI keep hoping that her writing style goes back to her earlier books. I feel as if she is just pumping out books now and I don't really like them anymore.
I'm not sure if it is because I knew the characters better this time, but I liked this much better than I liked "Take One". I enjoyed the first one, but not as much as I did Karen's other books. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the series and had put off reading "Take Two". I'm glad I did and I picked up "Take Three" as soon as I finished.

Karen Kingsbury is my favorite author so I always look forward to a new book from her. This one was no exception. It is the second book of a 4-book series so it picks up where the first one left off and leaves many loose ends yet to be concluded in the next two books of the series. I will be counting the days till I can get my hands on Take Three when it comes out in spring 2010!
This second book in the Above the Line series brings in Ben Adams and his daughter, Kendall. Ben is a big investor in the film produced by Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison. The film, The Last Letter, has been completed, but much work still needs to be done in the hope that film companies will want to show it. In the meantime, Stephanie Fitzgerald, a successful author whose book, Unlocked, was at the top of the New York Times best seller list, wants Chase and Keith to produce a film based on her book
