Pattie's Review:
I enjoyed this novel. At the beginning it had the feel of women's fiction, but as I read more it turned into a spiritual parable of sorts about forgiveness. The spiritual journey of Meg, the main character, was well-charted and seemed very realistic for someone who's been through so much trauma. I enjoyed the romance, too, because it wasn't everything to Meg--just one more way she begins to grow and change as a woman.
I also enjoyed the cranberry bog portions of the novel. How fascinating!
Overall, if you enjoy women's fiction with a Christian worldview, I recommend this novel.
You can get this book on Kindle right now for $2.99 or on the Nook, also for $2.99.
