Everything about this book is unassuming, from the delicate cover to the first few chapters. You think this is going to be a simple love story between a cowboy and an aid worker but it is much more than that. Beyond the sadness that brings the two together, it is about the silent strength of Rachel and Luke. Sure, she was afraid (ok, terrified) of anything requiring any type of human emotion but basically she is emotionally stunted having never moved beyond what she felt as a child.The story itself isn't anything spectacular but it is infused with a multitude of emotions that isn't often found in these types of romances. In fact I'd say the love story was more about Rachel and Gordie and Rachel and herself. Either way, this was a great story that you never see coming.
