I looked forward to reading this book for a long time before I finally received it and I enjoyed it. It's a story about love and peoples acceptance of each other and themselves. The book kept my attention and I found I couldn't seem to put it down. If I had one complaint it would be that I wasn't sure why the heroine and her husband were estranged. The author never seemed to explain the reasons and just alluded to problems and that confused me. I thought the husband was very tolerant, understanding and forgiving of the wife. This is the second book I have read by this author and I have enjoyed both of them.
