What a disappointment. Divided into three distinct sections (A Woman of Promise, Better Part, Ruin) The book starts well with a strong and identifiable voice, starts to weaken in the second part and fails completely to compel or excite in the final. After the very good Gospel, Barnhardt seems to have lost his way. It strikes me that he had the germ of a good story and a deadline, and that this is the result.
