"She was so confused with what was wrong with it that she couldn't relish in its beauty," as well as putting God first and keeping your eyes and hearts open for Him are the lessons of this novel, however, I do wish Doughty had expedited this teaching. Throughout the book, you got to know Nora & Jake well, but it became a bit redundant and laborious to get through.  Doughty may have meant to put the reader through this feeling, as I'm sure it's how those struggling through trials of a strained marriage may feel while entrenched in it, but it was a bit much!  Emotionally drowning, these characters and their ceaseless bickering, pouting and confusion led me to want to drown myself; literally. By the end, I was so sick of both Nora and Jake that I couldn't wait for the story to end, and really didn't care if they got back together or not.
