I'm hesitant to give low review to any author but felt compelled to do so because I was so disillusioned by the other reviews.I kept waiting for something to happen in this novel and when it did, I was disappointed. It seemed that the entire book was written for the "surprise" ending which was overly dramatic and too unrealistic to be believable.Then again, I had just read Francine Rivers' "Redeeming Love" and not much compares to that, now does it?
