I loved the story of Sally and George. It is a story of loss, love and redemption.  I liked that this story had a plot, incorporated a bit of danger and intrigue. The characters are strong and likable. The children a good focal point. What I did not like the was ending.  The danger to Sally and George was minimized completely, there was no resolution to what happened to the vengeful woman Miss Johnson, who sought to destroy George and Sally's family out of an insane jealousy. This lack of completion of the story ruined the entire book for me. The vengeful woman tried to kill the children and caused an entire herd of 500 sheep to be slaughtered and there was no resolution?  She had something else planned and all of a sudden the story just ended.  Ms. Bolen cheated every reader out of a great ending to really good book.  I don't think it was too long and a few more pages would have wrapped it up nicely. A re-write is in order with a proper ending and this book would rate five stars.  I enjoy Ms. Bolen's books, she can do so much better.
