I enjoyed this book very much. It was a quick and easy read. The book followed the journey of a woman throughout her marriage and the troubles they faced. It also had different perspectives chapter to chapter with the 2 sides being her point of view and her husband's. I will be looking for additional books to read by this author as I felt it was well written.
