READ THIS BOOK! This story was an absolute treat to read. Beware--you won't be able to put it down. The characters are wonderfully drawn and I wished that I could be friends with them. Absolutely delightful. Enjoy.
This was a nice sweet secular story that was about being faithful to a higher power without being preachy. The story also focused on two men fighting against temptations of the flesh and honoring the women they loved. A good read
