I do not want to seem adversarial but this book left me cold! This is why I find Christian fiction so distasteful. It is so very unlike the real Christian lifeThere were unfortunate truths here in this story, about the htpocrisy of the church and the judgements passed by Christians on people who make mistakes, especially those involving moral issues.As a leader of a group for mature singles, a large number of whom have been divorced, (horrors)I find very little compassion in the church for hurting people.I believe strongly in the Grace of God and His forgiveness, but do not feel that public confession is ever appropriate.  God forgives, but often people do not, and shared personal information can become a topic at next week's prayer meeting.I would hope that this young woman's sharing of her past life would not come back to bite her in the butt in years to come.  I have seen such things happen.I know that God works in the lives of those who love Him, bringing all the missing pieces together in His own time.  Having said that, I know from experience that healing is a process, sometimes taking years and involving many painful lessons.  Seldom is everything tied up so neatly and quickly with a big red bow!!!This was a sweet little story, not badly told.  I only wish reality was half this simple!!!
