Just what you expect from Cindy Woodsmall - Great story, Wonderful characters, deep emotions! I do believe Cindy has another hit on her hands! WOW! I started reading A Love Undone and before I knew it I was 3 chapters in! The story captured me completely, which is precisely why I love Cindy’s writing style. I will say this… when you begin reading, you never see tragedy coming. If you read the blurb on the back of the book, you know something is coming – you may not know what or when but you know something… is coming. But you will never see it coming! You start reading and you’re immediately pulled in to the story and when tragedy does strike, you are completely unprepared for it. I’m telling you, it will hit you like a ton of bricks. And that is only one thing that makes this such a well-written book! You get to experience the shock with the characters – you get to feel the same pain right along with them. You can’t close yourself off to it because you are completely and totally shocked… just like they are. The characters are the next best thing about this story. There is always such depth to Cindy’s characters, you truly feel as if you know them each personally – even secondary characters. You will love them, you’ll feel their pain and their joy, and you’ll find yourself in their shoes – trying to live with the choices they’ve made. I believe that is one of the things that makes Cindy Woodsmall such an excellent writer. She puts depth and detail into her stories without going on and on. She excels at using the story itself to show you who the characters are and what they’re going through. DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK! I received this book free in exchange for an honest review but I also bought a copy because I want to support AMAZING AUTHORS! I fell in love with Jolene and her sense of humor and her determination. The book however bogged down at times. Jolene and Van are all set to marry when her parents drown in a flood. Van doesn't want the responsibility of a ready made family and the wedding is canceled. A year later, Van is married with children. Jolene has not married but has managed to keep her family together. She has met a man that has stolen her heart. The problem is, he is a "grass widower." His wife left him but he is bound to remain married. no reviews | add a review
