This story was sad, but I felt it was nice. Although the story was not very long, it still contained many emotions. The storyline was priceless. Janette Oke told a beautiful story of love in a few short pages. If you want to pick up a quick book to read, I recommend this one. It might make you think about the important things in your life.
