Reviews

a romance mixed w religion


(3 stars)

the reading was done rather well. overall i enjoyed this story. it may be to deep for young readers, but appropriate for young and old, male or female. at first the story was a little confusing because location changes without much description and time passes without being referred to exactly. but i was able to follow it. this is a VERY religious story of a woman without faith or belief coming to religion amongst natural disaster while also figuring out who she should marry.
