This is a lovely book with a trio of characters that will eventually lodge in your heart. The words "if only" kept recurring to me as the book progressed, especially when my initial suspicion of the escaped convict changed to respect. I loved the gentle ending, which I read through my tears. I will remember the message conveyed in this book, and surely that is the reason we read.
