Who would you recommend this book to?
Colleagues

What did you like most about this book?
The tale of love lost and found was amazingly beautiful. To experience a love as pure as the characters’ is elating.

What did you like least about this book?
There were times when I felt the author could have put forth a little more action, but something just wasn't there. While the plot of the story was good, it didn't hold my attention quite like I expected.

Any suggestions for how this book could have been better?
Focus more on developing the plot.

What was your overall impression of this book? (Response must be between 75-100 words)
Remona was raised by her grandmother and never got a chance to know her mother. She was showered with love and compassion as a small child, but then tragedy struck and she was forced to relocate to a place of pure hell. Her childhood was stripped from her and love, as she knew it, ceased to exist. Lee changed that for her. He helped her find love again and they prospered as a couple. Their happiness was also cut short because of things they failed to control and bad decisions. The author focused more on descriptions and surrounding factors than the story itself. I want descriptions and scenery to pull me into the story so that I feel as though I'm actually experiencing it first-hand, but I felt more lost and disinterested. It took me quite some time to focus and actually finish the book.
