Slow start, gained momentum, epic finale.

Revisado: 01-28-21

This story really crept up on me and then wham! My only criticism was that I found the authors attention to detail about mundane things a little tedious at times. As the the story developed and progressed though, Moran found her focus and was ultimately able to deliver a flowing, epic tale that reached a very moving finale. Kates internal battles with her sexuality, because of family pressures to conform to heteronormativity, and her lack of self worth were frustrating to a degree but completely relatable and understandable, given the religious oppression and misogyny people endured. (And still do.) Her character traits blended beautifully with Annie’s tenacity and self confidence, and they balanced each other out perfectly. No explicit scenes for those who like spice, but the author delivered a handful of very romantic moments leading up to the physical act of lovemaking. This was a story of romantic, enduring true love against the hardships of life and religious oppression perennially rife with homophobia and misogyny, mostly set in pre and post WWII midwest America. Highly recommended
