Story: 5 stars
Ms. Gussman's characters feel like real people, they are complex and imperfect and hence, relatable. This story has romance, rejection, humor, faith, overcoming trials and putting one's trust in God.
It's so difficult to really give readers an idea what they'll get when they buy a Jessie Gussman book, but there is an underlying belief at the core of all her books and each book takes a different struggle and delves deeply into it.
This book deals with a woman who is planning on marrying without love in order to advance her career. But, thankfully, she is thwarted. She comes to realize that it truly was a rescue from God and that her life can go in a different direction; one that includes love.
Her love interest is almost a saint. He waits 15 years for her to finish medical school, residency, etc. Over the years, he has helped her when she needed rescuing, then would disappear again when she was back on her feet. He's not going to lose hope until she's actually married, but the book starts with her wedding to another man...
Seriously, this book grabbed my attention from the first chapter!
As readers have come to expect from a Jessie Gussman novel, there are plenty of humorous moments and serious contemplative ones, as well. The idea of putting your faith in God, and trusting him to open the way for you is one that is explored in this book.
The author is able to talk about principles of Christian faith without being preachy and it is hard to leave the world she creates in each new book.
Narrator: 5 stars
Jay Dyess is a fabulous narrator who captures the "cowboy" voice so well and with such clarity and emotion! I will never tire of his narrations! His acting is heartfelt, his expressions are spot-on, and his various character's voices are wonderful!
*poor, **ok, ***good, ****very good, *****something special
