I read this book a while ago, then swapped it on this site. Why, or why, did I swap it? Lately, I realized my mistake when I was telling a friend of mine how much I had enjoyed it and I began to wish I could read it again. So, I've gone and requested another copy and just received it. I rarely read a book twice, but I'm going to spend the day reading this one again! My suggestion is, if you have lots of important work you need to do, or need to go to bed at a decent hour and get a lot of sleep tonight, don't start this book yet. You'll read it all day because you can't wait to see what happens next, and you'll have a hard time putting it down in the wee hours of the morning! Seriously! So, get a copy of this book. You probably won't get my copy, but you MIGHT somehow get one from someone else!

I really liked this book. The main characters are likeable and the pace is fast enough to keep you turning pages, but not so fast that you get left behind! I believe anyone interested in the spiritual aspects of the book will be well pleased. Seth and Miriam both progress spiritually throughout the story even though it remains a conflict between them through most of it. The story of the Saudi princess trying to escape the bondage placed on women by her faith and her country is a pleasing one and you will find yourself rooting for her from the beginning! Great story and well worth the read! You won't want to put it down so it should be a quick read, but pleasing!

A man is able to see multiple potential futures and he uses this gift to get him and a fugitive Saudi Arabian princess out of a myriad of horrible fates. It reads realistically.
