Simply put - this book was beautiful. Was it ever heartbreaking as well. but so beautifully written and just a gorgeous story. Based on true events, as well! Make sure to read (or listen) to the authors note at the end for the full explanation of the events this book is based off.

This was my first book of Kristin Harmel's and I'm immediately looking forward to reading more. Her books felt so fresh and different than the plot lines most historical fiction novels take and her characters were incredible. If you are a fan of historical fiction at all, this is a must read.
