Unwrapping the cloak to free the roses revealed a picture of the Virgin. Kat's wild trip through wonderland kept me turning pages as I wondered how she would deal with each new challenge she encountered. Topping is a fan. Some pages are faded & not visible. Great product, great seller. The normative evangelical view of the law is that it is completely done away with and has no direct influence on the Christian life. No leaks and looks great!
