The story was fun BUT the main character (who it seems we are to empathize with) is a racist - makes me wonder if the author is one as well??? Specifically, the main character (and by extension, the author) celebrated the killing of many hundreds of Tribal humans by a lesser number of white humans armed with automatic weapons. Not even a mention of the FACT that white settlers committed genocide on the Tribal Nations. Sure wish I had not paid for this book.

Excellent , what a brilliant novel . Touch my heart . Well done .

Fantastic book. Really enjoyed it. Good story. Well written. Worth the time. Pulls you in and keeps you interested.

I do not know how this book was published without an editor taking out all of the painful details that were completely unnecessary. One example, what was the significance of Hope, a ten year old girl, using a bidet??? And it was mentioned several times! Creepy. And the silly things Hope wrote in her journal was weird. What was the point of filling up so much of the book with juvenile content? Also, who goes swimming with their cowboy boots on? I’ve read books by Charles Martin before so I was expecting a better book but in addition to these few mentioned absurdities, there were many more cringeworthy parts. I do not recommend. The book could have been much better without so many STRANGE insignificant details.

This is the second book I’ve read by Mr. Martin and it’s definitely another incredible and extraordinary piece of literature. The way he has developed and utilized, HOPE-actually the most important character in the story, is so ingenious and heartfelt u have to read this book to understand. Soooo worth the money and time- a super MUST read! U will want to experience more of this author for sure. JB -Thank u Mr. Martin. 👏👏👏👍🤩🙏

Awesome! Highly recommend this book and this author.

Charles Martin is an amazing author. All books are great this one included. All good for rereads and I can't wait till I can get to the next one "Unwritten"! I've heard it's great!!

Absolutely a delightful love story with such character. Have so enjoyed every book of yours I've read thus far. PERFECTION!!!

Could not put this ebook down! Charles Martin never disappoints me!

Loved this book. I can not say enough good things about Charles Martin.
