This story wasn’t really my cup of tea. There was a ton of telling in the early chapters. The plot was a bit all over the place: the guy played hard-to-get, then demanded the gal marry him; the gal played the flirt, then turned full suffragist-rant on her mother; the POVs through at least the first half couldn’t decide if they wanted to be third person or omniscient.
Thankfully, Mrs. Peterson has grown well in her craft since this book. She’s one of my favorite go-to authors, so I consider this early book a “growing pain” in the journey toward the prolific career she’s carved out for herself.
There were a few things I enjoyed about this story. The leading lady learned to mature from her flighty, flibbertigibbet tendencies. The author voice was just as engaging as ever, keeping me riveted despite the aforementioned issues. The finale was so sweet and held old-fashioned ideals, which I adored.

Inspiring story
The characters seemed so lifelike. I could feel Angela's strong thoughts on women's rights. She was a determined person but so considerate about how other people feel. She called on God as she realized her strong need of Him to help. Gavin was a determined person and considerate at the same time. Very good book. I enjoy this author.
