Phew! WHat a book! Sure it looks long and bland looking. But don't let that stop you. It is much more than a romance novel. It's about family, forgivness, fighting for what you believe in and also persistance. Halfway in the book , I was getting frustrated and hopeless, like the character of Lily. Lily and Artemas grew up loving each other. But litterally everything kept them apart. Everytime, they wanted to be together , someone or something drove a wedge between them. He had to choose between his family and Lily. The first time he chose his family, but the second time he was at a standstill.
All in all, the characters were well developed and believeable. The plot had many twists and turns and the family drama was aplenty.

If you like Deborah Smith's stories, you'll surely like this one. She takes Lily and Artemas from childhood to adulthood with enough twists and turns in the action to make you not want to put the book down until you're finished.
Helpful Score: 3
A powerful, poignant novel of a man and a woman from different worlds whose passion binds them together even as it tears them apart. A story of the MacKenzies and Colebrooks whose past binds them together with china making and landscaping.
