Summary
It's 1903. Maggie Elizabeth has been in love with Tommie since childhood, even though it has been 10 yrs since she last saw him. When he return, with a wife and child, decisions must be made and consequences faced.
It was easy to feel the main character's conflict in this tale. While I personally did not agree with Maggie Elizabeth's decisions, it was fascinating to see her reasoning. Jeremy was a sympathetic character, and I think I liked him best of all.
The story is told in first person present tense, which is my least favorite perspective to read, but seems to be popular among authors as of late. There are many times when things are repeated, almost within a few sentences of each other. Also, there seemed to be more telling than showing, such as instances where Maggie would say she can tell something just by looking at someone. It would have been nice to have more descriptions to explain why she came to such conclusions.
Over all, it is an interesting tale, and sequel, though reading the first book isn't completely necessary to understand the narrative.
