My Review:

This is an amazingly well written story. Throughout, the author covers a large span of time with this novel, but nothing ever seems rushed or missing. This is a very detailed story that the reader floats through without confusion and with a sense of time flying, as it does when your only child grows up. It comes to a bittersweet conclusion that simultaneously makes you smile and brings you to tears.

Rummler draws you right in with the characters that she creates for this work. I appreciate that each character says true to their speech patterns throughout the novel. I enjoy that each character stays true to the regional dialect from their home town, thus giving each character a unique way of speaking. Also, through the solid belief systems of these wonderful characters the story becomes very religiously based. You get so involved in their lives that you can’t help but feel for these phenomenal characters.

Overall, this was a quick but enjoyable read. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this author and her characters.
