For some reason this story is just right for me. The hero's clumsiness isn't too demeaning because the author showed his strength that far outweighs the bad. It's realistic enough to be funny as well. And to those who are born with enough confidence they might not relate to those times when your nerves will totally embarrass you but I admire the hero's tenacity that kept him going even when the whole world is laughing at him. It made me cheer for him actually and want to see him succeed.I love the heroine as well because she has enough perceptiveness to correct a developing huge mistake in time to see the right man for her. I admire her spunk when she went out of her comfort zone to see the hero's real life and to me that shows her growing wisdom especially in matters like marriage.Overall, the characters are alive and believable. The author made Omaha an interesting place to travel in that time. I love the story because of its unpretentiousness, the author really did show the bone of life in the story's era. She took away the glamour and showed real people with their hands on the dirt. I enjoy watching Tom's siblings pull his string just because they can and yet they are still there for him when he needed them most.If you are looking for a direct to the point story with living characters, try and see if you will enjoy this one. I did because it remind me of the magic of love.
