I just finished reading this book. It was a little hard to get into, but once I got to the middle of the book it became really interesting and I had to finish it. I was a little disappointed with the ending as I wanted it to go on a little bit longer than how the author just abruptly ended it once David came home from the war.
Pretty good, clean book. I great look into the life of the "Plain People" Not a thriller by any means but still a great story.
