I really really tried to get into this book. I loved the Austen references and the chapter titles.. and I'm sure the plot would have finally gotten to the point however after reading up until chapter 5 , I was pulling hair. At one point the author, refers to her leading man as Jake instead of Jack (which is his name) the completely over the top, stuff it down your throat christian rhetoric was not necessary at all and it just seems to be dragging ad nuseum.  I think the overall concept was a great one, the writer just simply needs an editor, a publisher, and some ample feedback from non biased readers and not her church group. I am christian so please don't think I'm being prejudice... because I believe you can tell a story with christian principles etc.. without the force this book has. Sometimes less is more and as a writer you need to understand how to make a point with symbolism and actions, not straight up spoon fed style... I was being VERY generous with the 3 stars; since I couldn't finish reading it however the writer has potential if she focuses on the storyline and moves the plot and perhaps spending time in an actual place that your writing about would help immensely because it's painfully obvious the writer hasn't ever truly worked in a nursing/care facility to know what she's talking about.
