Although the story could be shorten into one volume instead of two, I think that the length of the story is necessary so that we can delve into the heart of the main character: Rebecca Wolstone. We can easily feel the pain and the betrayal that she felt when she was tricked into marrying Andrew Jacobson. Her strength and desire to seek and know God is evident as she struggles with herself after hearing the teaching of the Saints and learning what is written in the Bible. I loved this story and I feel that through this story, I can clearly see God's love and unending patience towards us as he draws us close to Him.

This is a two book in one. I didn't like the first one. The second was ok. The story in the second was faster moving. I just didn't like how it was written. I would be reading and the next sentence was a completely different takeoff. So I kept finding myself re-reading the last sentence to figure out what and who was being talked about. A little confusing.
