The story was heartbreaking, yet ultimately redeeming… the author chose to use a 40-year stretch of time, which lent to affection for the characters. Homan and Lynnie were endearing, and I found myself wanting to know what would happen to them, hoping that they’d be ok. I must admit that the end was a bit of a reach, but sweet, nonetheless.
I'll also mention that I truly appreciated the author's note at the end of the novel, which explained her personal connection to the story, and gave more background to the historical aspect as well.
