Great Read

I enjoyed this book. It is a great love story which has a lot of lessons in it. I highly recommend this book. Keep up the good work.

Good Story but...

Picking up this book in WalMart was kismet for me. I actually went looking for something else but this cover caught my eye. I am not sure of Rena A. Finney's background but reading this novel would cause one to believe that she was either a first lady, had interviewed a few or was well intune to their journeys/struggles. It took me just short of 2 weeks to read this book mainly because I had to keep putting it down. It was not due to the storyline, etc. but because it hit a little too close to home. Having dated a pastor who was building a ministry, I relived several unpleasant things that the character Monica went through. Although painful, that is a testament to the author's authenticity when it comes to the character development and storyline. There was also another issue that I will discuss later. Monica is likeable even in her imperfection. I would have liked to see more action and less narration but that may have caused the novel to exceed the appropriate word count. The story was cleverly written and although a few instances were predictable, there were several things that I didn't see coming. That made the book just that much more enjoyable. The was one big downer... I am disappointed in the editorial staff of the publisher or whomever was responsible for catching errors. They allowed serious errors to slip by and be forever recorded in print. Key words were left out of sentences or incorrect words were put in their place. Example: the word exhilirating was used rather than the proper word "exaggerating". Things like that caused several sentences not to make any sense and caused the reader to have to read around the errors and between the lines. To me that's annoying and shouldn't be. The author deserved better than that. One sentence was added in the wrong place and affected the plausability of the scene at the end of Chapter 8.There were also punctuation errors where questions ended in periods and statements ended in question marks, etc. Rena, please don't allow them to publish anything else for you without going over it with a fine tooth comb before it goes to print with your name on it. You're a talented writer and should have been represented better. BTW: I am neither a publisher or an editor. I just noticed those mistakes and decided to address them since I know of others who would notice them and feel the same way.
