Thank you, N.R. Walker, for this wonderful and touching story. You dealt with the hard stuff just right, and let me enjoy the mushy stuff too. I felt that this book had more depth, substance, twists and turns than the other books of yours that I’ve read, though I’ve read and reread several of them. I thought I’d only get enjoyable, simple and sweet love stories from you. But you surprised me with this one. Difficult relationships, complex interpersonal issues including violence and abuse (dealt with carefully in the telling so that I was not horrified), and scenes that raised my pulse were not overdone, made for an excellent story. Joel Leslie did an amazing job – I’m still hearing his voice in my head.This is the first of your Audible books I’ve bought, though I have several Kindle titles. I often wonder how you research to create your characters. I’ve got to visit some of the settings for your books someday. I need to learn about their environments and what sounds like an amazing country. But I’ve got to learn your language first. (jk) Best regards. A fan.
