Van Patton infuses this work with an almost spiritual love of life and the world. She portrays very visual scenes of life: its beauty its ugliness the sweat of determination the consuming fire of true love the sweetness of hope. A spectacular read leaving the reader joyful and warm.

Once I got into all the characters it was a real page turner.
- Jack Dannheisser
I think that anyone who likes romance and who likes books set in trying times will love this book. Her characters are well developed, and the storyline though complicated at times is compelling at the same time. It is the way with times of war- life sort of gets thrown up in the air and where people tumble often separates them from those they love from. This is a good enjoyable read.
