This was an incredibly good book. It held my interest right from the start. Young couples these days have it easy for their first year of marriage compared to Julia and Hank.Could you last the whole winter with 6 cents to your name?

I agree with everything that's been mentioned in the other member's reviews. I was completely taken with this story from the first page. The author just grabs you and holds on, his beautiful descriptions are wonderful. I really felt like I was there. The character of Julie is drawn magnificently. How this author (a man) was able to write from her perspective just amazes me. The story moves at an amazing pace, too. The author has such control...very good. I laughed, I cried...every emotion was there, without any corniness or melodrama.

I've never been a big fan of the books on Oprah's book club, but this one was very good.

How did any of our forefathers survive? We think it's so hard with the high price of gas and utilities; most people in the United States don't know the meaning of hard times. Captivating.

This is an interesting story of a marriage--young people growing to intimacy through trials and tribulations. Very good.

I enjoyed reading this story about a strong woman, and the changes she sees in her husband. She stays with him even through hard and scary times.
