The review has explained it all.. The book is a creative piece of write up that best explains family values, love and strength to overcome in times of difficulties. The story in a story has a good and inspiring character build up.
I will surely read this.
Nice review . Congratulations on BOD.

I read the first few pages of this today, and it was enjoyable. Your review makes it sound like the author did a great job with character development and a storyline. I love the time period of this one as well. Sounds like a good one!

This sounds like a heartwarming story of family and hardship. I think the setting of Bryce Canyon during the depression would be interesting as well.

This is a great review! Your description of the story line and characters make it something I am looking forward to reading! This will be the first book that I have read that covers the time of the Great Depression but the setting is in a rural area, not the city. I like how you introduce the two characters and some of the dilemmas they are facing before they meet. This is definitely getting moved into my top "Want to Read" shelf!

This is my favorite kind of historical fiction to read. I can't wait to read it for myself! I love it when the historical fiction is mixed with elements of faith.

Interesting review. I couldn't tell from the cover picture that it's a historical fiction, looks more like a religious inspirational book.

Loved what I have read so far. It reminds me of a movie on the Hallmark channel with the themes of true love and family values. Going to finish reading it and then share it with my sister.

I like your review although I wonder how plausible it would be for the father of a seventy-two year old woman to still be alive. I like the cover of the book and it made me assume that this was a religious themed book. I was happily surprised that there was more to the story than I what I had imagined. I like that the father uses examples of people from the Great Depression to illustrate that no struggle is too big to be overcome.

It sounds as if this historical fiction is strongly character-driven, and romantic of course. What people needed to make it intact through the Great Depression could be an inspiration to us now.
