The story is well done and just when I was getting anxious to move it forward it does. Yes there is biblical reference and of course a story about a preacher will have this. It was true and real. Scripture, hymns, and prayer are part of a realistic view point. I was impressed. And loved that the author shows how sexual desire is also part of being human. Song of Solomon is all about how a husband and wife should be. Wish more authors understood this when trying to write with a Christian theme. Simone gets it!
