This book made my day; I swear I couldn't put it down! The charachters seemed to leep from the page with their words, and tremendous hardships. The author, Shelley Cooper, breathed life into them so well, that I felt as though I had a long conversation with the the hero and heroine. She is truly a talent, and her voice sings. Miss Cooper truly has a unique voice all her own.
