He's certain that Dana, like his first wife, won't want him or life in Iron Springs. What bothered me most about Married at High Noon was the lack of laughter, both from the characters and in my reaction to the story. There's no joy or happiness that these people experience and that lack translates into a less than satisfying read. Their lives were almost a gray monotone. Not once did I smile, grin, laugh or even manage a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Life's too short to read books that only focus on the gray emotions.
