I had previously read The Fate of A Marlow Girl and The Other Marlow Girl by Beth Fred, so, I was excited to read her next offering, A Missing Peace.I admire Beth for taking on such a controversial subject. I enjoyed the story, I loved Mirriam and Caleb.  I thought that the characters were well written and I loved how she portrayed them.  I thought that the story was great.Overall, I really liked the book, my biggest problem was that I just felt like there was something just out of reach in this book that was just missing by a very little bit.  For some reason the story just didn't click with me. I really wanted to like the book and it was a quick and easy read.  I'm not sure exactly where the disconnect came from or why I felt that way, but it just didn't hit for me.I love Beth Fred's writing style.  It is so easy to read and, in fact I read the book in one sitting. I thought the basis of the story was great, and the supporting characters were great.  There is so much to this story, but for some reason I just felt unable to totally get into it and follow along with the story as I was hoping to.
