I was kept spellbound by this novel. You feel as if you are a part of it, and I felt attached to each character while being able to relate so vividly to some of the emotions that are displayed ever so creatively. The power of the themes in this novel were moving to my spirit.

The story of these two people was just great. It really gave me some hope. My only sadness was that it ended too soon. I found the book interesting,and read it within a day. It is sad what Clarye went through and kept picking the same type of men. It seemed as when her mom kept talking about those sons needing a father, then Clarye would go and marry the man. I don't particularly care for what her minister said. I know we all got pay for whatever we have done in life, but it don't mean that you have stay and be miserable about it either.

I had this book in the house for all of an hour when my teenaged son picked it up and read the back cover. I didn't see it resurface again until three days later! Everynight I would see him in his room reading. Always is such a sensistive, yet dynamic story about two people's desire to be loved and accepted just the way they are. When I got the book back, I saw why he was so drawn to it. It is a tender story of love between two ordinary people with not so good track records when it comes to relationships. I think this author did an outstanding job at drawing her readers in. I found myself longing to meet someone like Gavin. i can't wait to read more by this author.

clarye made me look at myself. Even though I didn't have a physical handicap like Clarye, I have the same longings and desires for real love to. I think we all do in some form or fashion. this novel truly had me feeling the characters. There were times i cried, laughed and even fantasized. I would love to have a love like Gavin in my life. I think this book should be read by every single woman out there! It is truly an eye opener. I can't wait to read other books by shelia
