This
is a rewarding short novella and is a good combination of young love
and tragedy. Drew and Elizabeth meet when, as a young teen, she takes
a pie to his house to welcome them to church. It is love at first
sight. Short snippets of their lives in the ensuing years see their
romance develop. Drew has graduated from college and is ready to
spring the question when tragedy strikes his family. His faith and
future is in doubt, as is his relationship with Elizabeth.
This
is a short story but it was well crafted. We get a sense of the main
characters even in only a few scenes. And it is a good prequel for
the full length novel to come.
My
rating: 5/5 stars.
