I read this all in one day in two sittings. Well to be honest, it's now 5:22am... so just over one day. :) If you liked [a: Francine Rivers 6492 Francine Rivers https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1358956670p2/6492.jpg]' [b: Redeeming Love 11422 Redeeming Love Francine Rivers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550053167l/11422.SX50.jpg 820210] or [a: Tracie Peterson 27788 Tracie Peterson https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1296327966p2/27788.jpg]'s [b: Yukon Quest 360014 Yukon Quest Pack (Yukon Quest #1-3) Tracie Peterson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388425722l/360014.SY75.jpg 350179] then you are sure to love this little novel. Heartbreaking struggle from both ends of a marriage to make things work in the best of times and worst of times with a second chance is just fabulous. A great read!
4.5 stars.
This is a purely emotional rating! From page one, I was gripped by the story and never put it down until it was done.
Normally I don't like so much over-the-top drama, but for some reason these characters really drew me in, and I actually have no idea if there were any big flaws to the story.
It hung together well; the events seemed to flow logically from one to another. And that's pretty tricky to accomplish with jumping back and forth between the narratives of two separate characters. It's a little predictable in spots, but not in a bad way. (I certainly predicted the ending from when they got to the farm...that he would have to save her life and deliver the baby! And I loved every bit of how the foreshadowing of that played out!)
I got this for free on my Nook last night, and I'll probably end up buying a hard copy when I have the chance!
