Wendy Lawton has a gift for transporting her readers back in time and making that time so real. One cannot help but admire Mary Bunyan, who, though blind, is able to accomplish so much. What a wonderful example of love, sometimes tough love, in action. Mary's life is her testimony, and this powerfully written story makes one want to be like her.
