This novel explores the landscape of faith and the human heart. The characters are so real that it's hard to believe they are fictional. Hil, a man of the cloth, falls wildly in love with Lex, a charming and beautiful young woman who is not in the slightest religiously inclined, but she does adores him.
Hil finds himself tested as his love for this impetuous woman clashes with his duties to his God. He longs desperately to make her his wife but is this possible when they have nothing spiritually in common?
Through a cast of characters full of life, and sometimes just as frustrating as those we know in real life, Turnball takes Hil and Lex through credible circumstances that test their love and courage. There is nothing predictable about this book. Every time I thought I knew what would become of this or that situation I was proven wrong, and yet the outcome was entirely believable.
I would recommend this novel to anyone whose reading tastes tend toward characters who wrestle with deep issues of the heart.
