Oh, how I enjoyed this book! It was so romantic! Definitely my kind of story. I've read most of Ruth's books and I'm sorry to say that I only have one or two more to go before I've read them all. Makes me wish that authors like Ruth could WRITE FASTER! LOL!
I loved the realism of this story. I always feel like I'm right there in the story when I read Ruth's books. I can't say enough about Ruth's writing ability. I'm especially impressed by the easy flow of conversation. For me, Ruth is right up t...more

While browsing around for inspirational romance novels, I discovered this author and book and after reading many positive reviews decided to give it a try. I enjoyed it a lot. However, I did have to get past my initial fear that the hero and heroine seemed incompatible as romantic partners. My issue was not so much that they come from vastly different backgrounds, but rather that their developing relationship appeared more like siblings, than potential lovers. I know that friendships often devel...more
I've enjoyed all of Ruth Axtel Morren's novels so far, and this one did not disappoint. All of her stories are unique, and the characters are so well-developed, I feel like I know them. This story centered around a wealthy Bostonian and a poor New England farmer. The story developed gradually, but I was never bored, just curious as to what was going to happen next and how it was all going to unfold. A beautiful story.

I really enjoyed this book. Reminded me of that movie called Tammy and the Bachelor. My dad was in the navy and is a great cook and can even sew. Not dresses but hey....
Story of Ginny and Caleb, both outcasts of society, who find redemption through the love of Christ.
Sweet. (But I prefer a little more subtle Christian approach like Klassen.)
A beautiful romantic tale...read it aloud to your lover!
truly enjoyed this book
This kept my interest more than most (until 3:00 a.m.!), and the characters seemed more real to me. Great one for the airplane ride.
I found myself just wanting to get through this book. It started off great, however im not sure what happened toward the middle and end. It just lost all its apeal.
This book was good for a christian author she didn't get all preachy.

There were many detours along the way as she pursued more realistic goals. She studied comparative literature at Smith College, where she received a Bachelor's degree; spent her junior year in Paris; taught English and lived as an au pair in the Canary Islands; worked in international devel...more
