Faith Marin's life has turned out exactly as she has planned it. Until the end of the second chapter, when (spoiler alert!) she is shot. The book from here on is her reflecting? dreaming? thinking? on her relationship with her husband Geary.
Geary. My biggest complaint with this book. While it is made clear that Geary is a stable, almost "perfect" man (with the exception of his large, overbearing, yet kind family), he is completely one-dimensional in this book. You don't ever come to understand the logic of his falling for someone like Faith...unless it be purely physical, and it seems like it must have been (that, or the author just forgot about his character). Also, the descriptions of their marital intimacy are uncomfortable for a Christian novel, and inappropriate for younger readers.
I felt like I was "suddenly" getting to the end of the book, and things were going to have to wrap up...and they wrapped up absolutely perfectly, with everything working out like a fairytale. I suppose there's nothing really wrong with this, it's just...really predictable.
I'm not a huge fan of this book. I was given a copy of it by Revell Reads (Baker House Publishing Group) in exchange for an honest review.
