Reader Reviews
I'm not Catholic, but I know enough to know that clergy is not supposed to fall in love with anyone other than Jesus. This story could have easily fallen into seedy territory under a less-talented writer, but the author was able to create characters that I was rooting for the entire time, not a cringe in sight. Thank you, Ms. Harper, for that. I was able to sympathize with both Paul's and Delia's feelings, though I do not share many of their experiences. The book was well-paced, compelling, and enjoyable, and I'd recommend it to anyone, even my own mother (and in my world, that's the truest sign of a good book).
