"I can only say that this book surprised me and pulled me into a world where matters of the heart don't come often or easy. I thought this book is probably more true to reality of then and even now. A thought provoking read that lingers long after the last page has been read."

— Samm (5 out of 5 stars)

    " I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the pull between religion and culture, family and community expectations and the needs and wants of self. I think a lot of people in a close knit community can identify on some level to the main characters in the novel. "

    " The writing and story-telling were good and what I expect from this author. The time and setting gave a very realistic feeling of life in a Puritan colony. But I just didn't "like" the story much ... most likely because part of the ending was NOT what I wanted to have happen! "

    " This historical fiction novel was set in Puritan New England. I'm not sure how accurate it was in it's portrayal of the Puritans. I listened to the audio book while exercising and felt it was just so-so. "

    " Very Strange story. It almost remined me of the movie "The Village". The parts where the author was trying to make the romance come alive were just gross to me. I guess if you like picking lice out of men's hair then go for it. "

    " I loved the author's writing style and how she portrayed Puritan life with so many details. I would give it 4 or 5 stars for the story, but I really didn't like the surprise ending. It was almost as if the author had changed her mind at the last minute and went a different direction. "
