I found this novella to be one of the most God honoring works of fiction I have read. Growing up, we often intend for our lives to honor God, but when life plays out, living it can be so much more difficult than we ever imagined.Jake made a promise to God as a teenager, but will he be able to keep that vow? Julia’s presence makes his promise even harder to keep. The encounters between the characters are filled with sensitive passion that draws you into an emotional turmoil that is so real—real to our emotions, real to our minds, and real to our hearts. But what if that heart is truly surrendered to a vow made to God? How will that heart react? I found this story to be such an exemplary display of the Holy Spirit inside us, directing each and every step.JoAnn Durgin does an awesome job of writing an emotional romance while keeping the story clean and enjoyable. The characters are well developed, facing real-to-life struggles, making them likeable and real. This was a book that I could not lay down until the final page had been turned.
