I absolutely, positively LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book. It is now one of my absolute favorites & I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know! This book is amazing. I was going to sit here & type out a long review. But first, I want to introduce you separately to the characters, because I fell in love with all but one!
Della- I would have to say that she is my favorite. She is placed in the position where she basically has to choose money over love, and I am so proud of her for her decision because it was heart-warming and tear-jerking, all at the same time. She cares so much for her daughter Cozy and she also cares deeply for her cousin, Lish. I loved her the most and I guarantee you will fall in love with her as well.
Roy- I was disappointed that I didn't get to see much from his point of view, there were some, but not as many as I would have liked. But, you also fall in love with his character. He's a widower and his daughter Rose desperately wants a mother. His word from God convinces him to come pastor at the church in Charleston and he's iffy at first, but God convinces him to go. Rose is adorable and you can tell she loves her father very much. The two of them are the perfect daughter and father & you'll cling to them and their pain through the whole book.
Lish- I thought at first she wasn't going to become one of my favorites and although she didn't, she's still the one I feel sorry for. She's going through a lot. At first she is so happy and content with her "perfect life", I mean for Heaven's sake, she and her husband are doctors, two beautiful children and another baby girl on the way. What more could she ask for? But you'll learn, she's not as perfect as you think. You cry for her, you laugh for her, but most of all you pray for her character because she needs it more than any of them do.
Drew- Not much to say about him, honestly. Because what I want to say will automatically give it away, but let me tell you, if you're like me, you will know what he's going to do the second you are introduced to him. He's not what I call a good husband.
Last but not least, Anne. You don't get to know much about her either besides that she rings the bells for the church, but she does fall in love and you fall in love right with her. It's magical and you will cry, trust me.
I loved this book not only for the love and the tears that it brought, but for the story that it told. It was NOT a preachy book, and to be honest I was scared of that when I first read about it. But no, it's a love story if anything. Not just a love story about a man and a women, but the love of family. & That's why I love this book so much!
