This is the first book by Carrie Fancett Pagels that I have read. I was given a copy through Barbour Books and Netgalley to read and review. This review is totally my own opinion.
I enjoyed the book for the most part, but I was confused about all the different characters involved. It is also a dual timeline book which made it even more confusing. It took me a little while to get involved in the book, and once I did I did enjoy it but never did figure out all the persons/characters and how they connected.
The characters were mostly well developed, the main characters the best. The story flowed quite well even with the jumping back and forth in time.
This is a Christian novel and it shows without being preachy. It is shown in small ways.
Right from the beginning, I realized the author was from Michigan, calling root beer "pop" is a dead giveaway. Being from Michigan I this being set here.
I do not give 5 stars often as it lessens the value. With that said, I give this a 4 out of 5 stars.
If you enjoy historical fiction, clean and not preachy, you will enjoy this book.
