It was ok. Very fairytale like, the characters seemed too "perfect" (one dimensional?) and the plot itself was very picture perfect. You know, classic two people fall in love and save eachother. I don't know, I didn't really feel a connection to the characters or the story. It was sweet, but for me a bit forgettable I guess.I was not expecting a sad ending but other than that the book kept me interested.

This book made me want to share it with my husband and son. It centered on the story of a man, Hunter. Very masculine reading taking place in the mid to late 1800s: saloon brawls, guns and rifles, abusive husband, revenge, Irish girl sold to American man in order to give her a better chance for a better life, etc. It also has a great love story in it and as is usual for Richard Paul Evans, it has plenty of inspiring quotes the reader might want to write down, so keep a notebook nearby.
Despite an extremely sad and unexpected ending, I loved this book. (ummmm hello.you see who the Author is.of course I loved it) Set in a a town called Bethel, a small gold camp in western Utah in 1857 (50 years prior to the arrival of Esther Huish from The Locket). It's a love story, as well as a story of redemption, between a minister turned gambler and a young Irish woman sold into slavery as a teenager. It's a story of two completely broken people who find each other and in so doing become
Like all of Richard Paul Evans books that I've read so far, this one taught me a lot, contained important truths and life lessons, and certain parts touched me deeply. Words are powerful things. I realized that often it's easier to believe/see the truth about others than it is to see the truth about yourself (we are often our own worst critic or worst enemy) and to stay true to who you are takes a lot of courage. We are all worthy of love. God loves everyone of us and gives us life. Lies in
NOT LIKE THIS ONE.
