My Thoughts
This book was just amazing, it was intelligent, deep and insightful, the plot was building it's momentum slowly but surely, bringing the reader closer to the characters stories unfold before us as they get to know themselves and each other her. A beautiful story with wounderful imagery and characters. I was truly touched by Tom and his concern and thoughtfulness when it comes to Deborah . The romance was believeable, poignant, and very touching.
