But let’s get past all that.  Carl and Annaslisa are delightful characters that just jump off the page from the moment you are introduced to them.  I never found thee story sappy.  I had a vague idea of how the story would end, and the author added enough realism in the story to keep it true to form.  I think if a guy like Carl came into my life, I would react similarly to Annaslisa.  The strengt of bot characters comes through, and there are some delightfully funny portions to the story as well.

The best thing is that this is a Christian book, but it is never preachy.  The characters all doubt God’s existence and love, but in the end, they place their simple trust in Him.  You will find nothing inappropriate, and I hope that the author writes a sequel.  She certainly left the book concluded but still open to another story.  I would highly recommend this book to those who love historical romances.  But if you don’t like romance, I think you still might like this book since the romance is quite minimal (but awfully sweet!).

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
