My Review:
I loved this book. The characters and plot came alive and were interesting and well developed. It was well written and held my attention from page one. Mellie's story was really touching. All girls and women can identify with feeling like not being good enough especially in the area of looks. Tom was a good hero. I fell in love with Tom and Mellie and their relationship. This is a Christian Historical fiction book set in WWII and the details were good but not overwhelming. I felt transported into another time. One of the main themes is forgiveness. This is one of my favorite books this year. Her previous series is also good. Highly Recommended! :)
