    5.0 out of 5 stars A story of courage and hope
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017
    Wow, this is a long book, but well worth the read! The author uses descriptive narrative incredibly well, so that the reader lives each character's experiences with them and becomes deeply involved in their lives.
    Josie has had a traumatic experience in her past, which still has an effect on her now but, despite this, she has a wonderfully bubbly personality and gets on well with people. She also has a deep empathy towards others who are suffering, which she uses subconsciously to help them.
    Jim is a shy man who has always had problems connecting with people, his religious beliefs have kept him holding back until he finds the right woman. When he meets Josie, the two of them form a deep bond that goes beyond love. But Josie must overcome the traumatic events of her past in order to be able to form a future with Jim.
    I loved this book, Annette Spratte has a wonderful way of writing that is easy to read, but at the same time pulls you into the story until you feel as if you are a part of the book yourself. It is a romance with Christian tones but don't let that put you off as the story is so much more, it is a story of courage and hope that many women will be able to identify with.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The book's greatest strength lies in its characters
    Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017
    The book's greatest strength lies in its characters. Annette does a beautiful job uncovering these figures--their stories, their pasts, and their hopes. The characters are honest and raw, and the redemptive elements of the story feel real. The changes that happen to Josie and Jim are authentic and moving.

    The book deals with important life themes--stale religion, true faith, childhood hurt, and ugly pasts. Josie arrives in an Oklahoma small town from the heights of NYC, and we watch her struggle to come to terms with her past and figure out what really matters in life. We watch Jim's quiet presence change her. In the dust and open roads of a small town, something happens to Josie. What the book ultimately leaves the reader with, in an understated way, is a simple quality that changes everything--love. It's a story about the power of simple acts of kindness.

    The book is long, and sometimes it loses itself in the details. Sometimes it is too descriptive and tries too hard to take the reader into the minds of its characters. Yet overall it is a story worth reading, and it will challenge you to examine your beliefs and not shy away from life's important questions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little long.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2017
    I was slightly intimidated by the length of this book. I'm not usually one to be committed to something for such a long time, but I really thought it sounded interesting. I think the author did a great job at developing interesting and deep characters. The detail is extraordinarily crafted. The story of Josie is so beautiful and Jim is such a great supporting character. I grew up in a small country town, riding our horses down the back roads. It brought back some great memories and really touched my heart.

    I would probably recommend this book to my friends, as long as they didn't have commitment issues because of the length.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One in a Million - Brilliant
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2017

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is completely different to other novels out there.
    Unique and thought-provoking.
    With an abundance of detail and strong characters. I enjoyed how Christian beliefs are upheld and the message how God loves everyone, regardless of their background.
    I like the way the characters have developed along the way.
    I also enjoyed the 'horsey' and painting parts.
    A one of a kind romance where tradition meets a modern way of life. There is also a community feel to it.
    I would advise a reader to set aside a good amount of time to read this

    Highly Recommended

    5.0 out of 5 stars An addictive story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2017

    I found this to be a very interesting read, it is a long story at around 19 hours but never-the-less it was a book that I had to finish once I had started. There are a lot of deep meanings for everyone in the book in one way or another, it raises questions and issues that affect us all. I would guess that some of the issues can relate to readers on a personal level. I really enjoyed the book and I recommend it as a good read.
