In this story you have love lost, broken hearts, loneliness, healing, revenge, reconciliation and romance. God's enduring love comes through in every chapter of this book. It is a lovely story you will want to read yourself!I highly recommend this story.I rated this book a 5 out of 5.Disclosure: I purchased this book for my own reading pleasure therefore was not required to write a review. This review is my honest opinion. I just happened across this book in the library day before yesterday. I have never read any books in the Christian/inspirational section so I wasn't sure what to expect. I loved it! It was a quick read but the story was great. I live in a little town in Kansas which is why I picked the book to begin with. I love any story that takes place in the past. I like historical books even if they are fiction.
