Not my typical reading material, but review interested me enough to make an exception. This book has great potential to become fascinating journey through ages and eternal values of lives.

Thank you for the good review. I read the first few chapters and enjoyed it. You highlighted the many other facets of the book just enough to get us interested without giving away the ending. Too bad about the grammar errors - I did not even notice them. Thanks again.

You captured my interest when you said Charles' secrets could hurt people. That piqued my curiosity. I like the theme of love that is explored too. Sounds like a nice Sunday afternoon read when I'm looking for something a little more mellow.

I'm not looking forward to the predictability nor the grammatical errors noted in the review. Sounds like a light book to read at the beach or beside the pool.

This is a book I feel that I could read, largely because your review posed so many relevant questions. I also like the fact that the characters are portrayed well, and it's a book that seems to be about the subject of human relationships and also to be far from the world of technology.

Thank you for the interesting review concerning this book. I have to admit that the storyline has piqued my interest. I find the grammatical errors to be disappointing though. I may still give this book a chance and see where it goes.

Steven wilkens Charles' story :: its really a touching one , I love the characters and manner in which the writer conveyed the story.I now strongly believe that you don't have the right to judge anyone because people can change with time .who could have believed that all those help coming to people was from someone with an ugly story behind him.I learnt a lot this book touched me a lot thanks to the author. Am rating the book *3 out of 4*.

Love comes in different forms,
In different circumstances,
And unexpected ways.
Karen and Charles story aren't different.

I absolutely love the intriguing premise of this book. I have read the sample and downloaded it and I can't wait to find out McCormick's story. I found the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors distracting, though. Thanks for the great review!
