If you like wintry books, you'll enjoy the Alaskan landscape as it is described here.<br /><br />Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-45748727603148764512013-06-14T07:48:52.380-04:002013-06-14T07:48:52.380-04:00I've been wanting to read this since AMy recom...I've been wanting to read this since AMy recommended it, too!

I love wintry books, and rural living--part of me wonders if I'd appreciate the mothering aspects of this book more if I were a mother myself. Still, I likely won't wait THAT long to read it.<br /><br />Irene Jennings of <a href="http://www.tonylamaboot.com" rel="nofollow">Tony Lama Mens Boots</a>Irene Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603959953431879572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-16799505567314384882012-11-26T09:04:21.784-05:002012-11-26T09:04:21.784-05:00Nath, this book lived up to the hype for me.

I would say it is definitely a read that would be best recommended for lovers of "fiction" or "literary fiction," not one I would recommend for those who read strictly romance. <br /><br />I didn't notice until after I wrote and posted my review (because I didn't have the time and finished it right on deadline, lol!), but at the end of the book, there's a questionnaire for "book clubs." You know what that means! *g* <br /><br />Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-36950288389517127252012-11-24T11:38:23.097-05:002012-11-24T11:38:23.097-05:00This was a book I had to go back and order more co...This was a book I had to go back and order more copies of for work.

I thought this was the perfect time to read it. I hope you love it.

Yes... I thought this read was definitely pertient as a Thanksgiving read... you know, going through the trials life presents, and then at the end of the day realizing there is so much to be thankful for. It's a beautiful story!
