Having read Gap Creek by this author, I snatched this one up when I found it - and I was not disappointed! The same rustic, rugged writing style that captures the diction and tone of the speech style of these plain country folk is once again displayed in this book. The story of a young married couple troubled by their religious differences - his noncommital, hers fervent - make this an excellent read. Curl up with a cup of your favorite hot beverage with this one, and settle in to read the whole thing in one sitting - you won't be able to put it down!

Robert Morgan is one of the few male writers who can successfully and convincingly write from a female perspective and besoft and feminine to the end. That said, this story is -once again- very sweet and engaging. It will draw you quickly in and then keep you there, wanting to prolong the experience. I actually MADE myself put the book down several times. As much I as was enjoying the ride, I wanted it to last as long as possible.
Such a wonderful author; not surprising that this is yet another great read.

Robert Morgan is an first rate story teller and draws you into the story. I love this book but thought Gap Creek was a little better. Definitely worth reading and I don't say this lightly as I despise time wasted on poorly written books that other recommended to me.
