I agree, Jenny - books like Melissa's help us understand a little more about issues others are encountering ( if we haven't experienced them personally). One of the reasons I love to read them.

I...I'm grateful you enjoyed the review, Noela!! I enjoy Christian Fiction that deals with tough subjects as in "A Bride At Last" - if not already directly involved with those issues, the reader can be educated and enlightened as to the plight of those that are, and hopefully, reach out to them in a more understanding and empathetic manner. Melissa did a wonderful job of portraying some difficult issues.
