I enjoyed this book. I am a preacher's daughter and I must congratulate Cassandra King on her capture of what the life of a minister's wife is quite often like. Not all church congregations are like this but far too many are. I enjoyed the story. Dean, the preacher's wife, tried very hard to be a good wife, support her husband, treat the church people well. I liked her friend, Augusta. She challenges Dean to find herself and by the end I believe Dean does. You'll have to read the book to know what I'm talking about but it's worth the read. Her husband was unfortunately quite like a lot of minister's. Minister's quite often follow the mind frame that everything is about the church and God and toes must not be stepped on thus wives and children get pushed to the end of the preachers attention line unless of course they behave badly and embarrass him. Fortunately over the years preacher's have retrained their tho't processes and realized that their wives and children are not last but actually first. This is good. I believe I will remember this book. It keeps you interested to see what happens next with her varied characters. It is real to life I think. An easy read and entertaining. Again, I liked it.
