The end was a little rushed, but nothing I didn't see coming so it was fine. I really enjoyed this book, and it was my first by this author. I think my favorite was the cast of secondary characters that were perfectly written to enhance the depth of the heroine. I would be very interested to read some of her other books just to meet a new cast of secondaries. Her writing is very simple, and yet, she paints a very vivid world with depth, color, texture, and emotion. I would almost call it an historical western inside a NY apartment. Meaning that it doesn't take up a lot of space, but what space it does claim is used well without waste. Very touching.
