I download and read books of all varieties and genres from the Amazon Top 100 Free list and I have been pleasantly surprised on many occasions.  Thankfully, this book fell into that category and offered a wonderful diversion during the time it took to read.  The book is very well written technically, albeit perhaps a bit slow and overly descriptive, but... with its homey writing style and well researched story line, it hooks you and keeps you hooked until its semi-surprise ending.  I found myself emotionally invested in this story and really feel the author does a wonderful job of creating well developed characters that are easy to relate to.  I know it's clichéd, but I have a feeling that the cover of this book may be steering some potential readers away from rather than toward this one.  That is unfortunate as this book is, in itself, a gold mine which should not be missed by anyone who enjoys a good read.  I give this one a solid 4  stars and look forward to reading more offerings by this very talented author.
