Helpful Score: 1

This novel is the first part of a trilogy. Though Gracelin survives tragedy after tragedy, Ann Moore has captured her story in nothing less than the most grippingly honest text. The novel flows so well that there is no time to get depressed. The reader is pulled swiftly out of sorrow into fear, into a small measure of happiness before they are plunged into righteous anger. Gracelin is an admirable character. She epitomizes the indomitable character that women hope to achieve, though her life is what we all wish to avoid. From famine to family crisis, this novel draws from its reader a hurricane of emotions. For this reason, it is a personal favorite of many. I highly recommend the entire trilogy to readers of all ages. Though it is not a religious novel, we all become better souls for having read this book. Well done to Ann Moore.
