Having read every one of Audrey Howard's book and enjoyed them all, I have to list this one as one of my favourites. The main characters, Alex and Christy, are so real and true to their times. The twisting plots, wonderful secondary characters all came to life under Audrey Howard's masterful talent. I laughed and cried reading this book. The powerful ending left me speechless. I heartily recommend this book.

I found this book very hard to put down once I began reading it. I liked the main characters in some chapters and yet was disappointed in others, but overall they turned out as I had hoped. The female character, Christy, I admired, as she fought against all the prejudices shown to women in that time as well as managing a family and taking on tasks which she had not been prepared for but I also admired Alex as he had different battles to fight. This is definately a "just one more chapter" book
