Amazing!... Incredibly written story! I never expected to get so caught up in this book, but once I picked it up I wasn't able to put it down. I like to read a lot of times before going to sleep, reading seems to help me fall asleep better. But with this book I wanted to tape my eyelids open and smack myself every 10 minutes to stay awake to read it! I just could not put the book down until I knew what happened to the baby Peter and his mother Marie. The characters in this book are so real to life, and their circumstances are very beleivable. I can only imagine what it was like to live during this time period (1850). Melanie Dobson is an awesome author. This is one of those books where you forget that you are reading, and feel that you are right there experiencing everything as it unfolds. Absolutely loved this book!
