You've probably never heard of this book; I hadn't either. It's reminiscent of 'Yellow Raft on Blue Water' and Barbara Kingsolver books. An engaging, wonderful book with a heartwarming story. If you are looking for a book that is interesting, leaves you with a great feeling, has a good ending, and develops a strong female character, this is a good one.
