I really liked this book. The characters are somewhat frustrating but the very fact of that frustration means that the author has done what she is supposed to do - she's made me care about the characters. Fear of rejection and intimacy often make careful rational people miss opportunities for love and commitment. I'm looking forward to reading other books by Ms. Strefling.

The writing style of the book is exceptional. The author writes so well that it makes the character Edwina such a real person - while this is quite remarkable, it evokes such emotions of annoyance, irritation and disgust from the reader towards Edwina. You are reading and screaming you are so educated yet so totally dim-witted. It was rather irritating but it is good for authors to give us real characters who we see their very flaws so up close- it drags us away from the perfect fairy tale heroine expectation.
I absolutely loved the character of Spencer and I was more team Spencer than for anyone else. He was bolder than anyone else who had interest in Winnie and like real life you are left wondering why this one and not that one.

I enjoyed this story. A young woman who has no self esteem thinks her sister, who is a beauty, has more worth than she does. After being fired from her job as a librarian, she decides to take a job in Scotland with a Laird she met while visiting there. She prays a lot, but does not think she is worthy of any happiness. It all works out in the end

The story reads as if the author must be an elderly spinster. Her leading lady is afraid of everything, lacks any confidence and though she keeps saying she is "practical", she also lacks common sense. The crisis toward the end is precipitated by the worst act of negligence. The frequent prayers to God asking for help would be better directed if she just asked for some backbone and grew up.

A fantastic and inspiring read. A small town girl gets her own adventure in Scotland with and Laird, a modern tale with great characters that feel real as your own friends.
