An honest and poignant account of a couple with differing beliefs, proving that love conquers all. I, myself, am in a sort of reverse situation of the author. I am a Priest’s daughter and my husband was traumatized by a different segregation of (extremist, in his case only of the two of us) religion and eschewed his faith as a result of trauma. This book helped me to understand my husband’s point of view, and is a reminder that a marriage can still lovingly and healthily work when couples respectfully agree to disagree.

I also adored the references to Frances Burnett Hodgson books. The books and movies were a huge part of my childhood.

The author was a gifted storyteller and I loved how she intertwined mini family and friend stories in with the main story to bring everything together.

This is a sweet but poignant book. Makes you think about things.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
