Rating: 
Summary: eminently likeable
Review: Though I have criticized other books written by Evans, I have to admit that this one was better -- the writing was better, plot, period details and storyline. He still comes up a bit short on characterization and relies on some overly stereotyped scenes and scenarious, but at least this was more palatable.The public is hungry for these feel good books about hope, faith, despair and love. In this genre, I think Evans is probably at the top. I didn't quite make it to the hankie phase, but there are some touching scenes. It's hard to really criticize Evans since his books are so well-intentioned. I found this book sweet in parts, a bit mawkish in others. Overall, a sweet read.
