I was enjoying this book until just past half way through it. Whenever I read the phrase, "Little did they know" I cluck my tongue and know I'm in trouble. Most of the characters were enjoyable and I liked the concept of the story, but it lost its way.

I loved this book. It is similar to the help in the era and location, but the plot and characters are entirely original. The theme is uplifting and after reading it you'll feel like a better person for sharing in their journey.

I'm not a religious person, but it was otherwise an enjoyable read. Jordon was a little girl that was the highlight of the book for me.

Michelle
This was a pleasant, easy, quick read. I enjoyed the characters and their voices. I think I would have liked it better if I hadn't been comparing it to Trobaugh's Swan Place, which I ultimately liked more.
