Andrew Grey is a masterful storyteller, and Love means … Patience is a brilliant and heart wrenching novel. Cody Culver and Brink Hunter are strong, intense characters who share a traumatic past. Culver lives in his own world as a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and it takes patience, love and acceptance to bring him out of his own tortured mind.Grey pulls readers into this story within the first paragraph. His narration is intense and stunningly descriptive. At the beginning of the book, Cody is a tormented man who is battling a war within his own mind.Grey constructs a masterful story with Love means … Patience. Like the other books in the farm series, the characters are genuine and realistic. As isolated as the farm is, real-life once again makes its ugly intrusion into the peacefulness that Eli and Geoff have created. The awesome and angst-filled plot is only enhanced with Grey’s wonderful character development that permeates this story. Although this is clearly a work of fiction, the realism in the story is tangible, and the social implications are staggering in their realism.This is a partial review.
