A contemporary love story that I wouldnt really call a romance, but a story that takes the heart of two characters and steadily draws them closer together.
I thought the setting, a small Mennonite community and one bitter young man, was an interesting take on the bonnet fiction sect. I enjoyed that each character brought a struggle to the plot that crafted a sweet and surprising ending.
Why dont I call this novel a romance? Mainly because the story kept me in limbo the entire time, wondering if these two people would get together. I actually enjoyed this angle, because I wanted to see each one come together, they both have so much to overcome, primarily forgiving people in their past. You dont have the typical boy meets girl, boy dates girl and boy loses girl equation and I enjoyed the shake up.
Its different than the expected prairie romance and dont let the cover deceive you to think as such, but within the pages Im sure many readers are going to find a cast of characters to jerk the heartstrings and entertain the soul.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
