Lovely book! This is just a short novella and I got to the end wishing there was more to the story! It was well written and the author managed to fit quite a lot of story into a short bit of writing. All the characters were wonderful and fairly complex. The main characters of Maren and Wooly are sweet and have a lot of pain to overcome - and even though their story moves along quickly, it doesn't appear too contrived like many novels. All the supporting characters added a lot to the story without cluttering it up or detracting from the main storyline. As always, I love it when I historical fiction author uses really elements from history in her novels and Mona Hodgson does that with the town of St. Charles, Missouri. I am greatly anticipating reading the rest of the series (The Quilted Hearts) and at only $1.99 on Amazon, I won't even have to think about grabbing up the next ones!Disclosure: I was provided with an e-book copy of this book free of charge by Waterbrook Multonomah Press for my honest review.
