Such a simple concept, but it works!  There is so much in this book that I thoroughly agree with and the author has articulated well what I have "unconsciously" thought in my own mind.  I just didn't have the wear-withal to put it all together and make a plan with basic steps to follow.

The book might not be for everyone.  I am a no nonsense type of person and do not appreciate a lot of fluff.  I like to get right down to business and appreciate truth without tip toeing around trying to make things more palatable!  This book is that completely.  The deeper I got into it, the more appreciative I became of it's content, so try to stick with it to the end.

I might disagree with the author on one minor point though....I believe the pig IS real!  You all will have to read the book to find out what that means.

Thanks for making this a free download.

This book grabbed me from the beginning. I love the characters, I WANT to know what happens to them!

I even got my mom to read it, and my hubby to listen to it (that's a step in the right direction, he hates reading).

I can't say enough good things about this book. :)

I loved this book! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with each of the characters--and you could really feel and understand the struggles each character had in the decisions they were making. Can't wait to read the 2nd book. This book is a must read!

I purchased this book when one of my favorite authors mentioned it on her blog, and I am so glad I did. The storyline and the artwork are both inexhaustible-- I have read this many times already after having it only for a short while, and I notice something new every time. So, so in love with this book.

Love love love this book! It was a book club read that we happened to come upon and this ended up being one of our favorites for the year.. we are now desperately waiting for the next installments and I just looked and saw my next one has delivered to my kindle! I am so excited! This book has an excellent main character who is one you fall in love with from the start and root for all the way through! I absolutely love her story.. her bravery and her love for her friend, her man, and her people... the twist at the end is like WHOA.. I can't give it away but this is a great read!

I have to confess that I was a little hesitant when I first got this book: Short-straw bride? It sounded a little silly. Boy, was I wrong!! I loved, loved, loved this book. Why? Well, let's see:

Great plot: set in late 1800s Texas, it is the story of Meredith, a young orphan whose path crosses her childhood crush, secluded Travis. Because of circumstances, they find their lives entangled and learn to know each other, but also grow into some social and spiritual changes that, at the end, make them better for it.

Great characters: the protagonists, as well as their friends and members of their respective families, are all well written characters that are entertaining and endearing. I found myself completely drawn to Meredith, this wonderful woman of God who is strong and yet vulnerable, and to Travis, a tough and yet compassionate cowboy who will steal your heart!

Wonderful humor: you will find yourself laughing at several of the comical scenes that are so well described in this book: -look for when Meredith is delirious and describes her feeling for Travis, thinking he is just a dream... hilarious!

Amazing romance: innocent, and yet passionate! The two develop a deep love for each other that is greatly paced and will make your heart beat a little faster. Witemeyer masterfully describes the deep feelings that our protagonists experience for each other in a way that will keep you hooked to the end!

**This is a wonderful, funny, uplifting, romantic novel with a Christian undertone. I read this book twice in a week!! And I cannot wait to grab more of this amazing author. My thanks to Bethany House Publishers for providing a free copy of this delightful book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I absolutely LOVED this book!!!  I rarely rate any book with 5 stars but this one has done it.  It has everything you could want - humor, romance, mystery.  Once I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down and once I finished it, I wanted to read it again.  The characters, plot and humor keep you interested from beginning to end.

Absolutely LOVE this book! I originally came across it when I saw a couple of the pages posted on Facebook. When I found out there was a whole book, I HAD to order it. My fianc and I read a little bit each night before bed until we finished it and what a JOY. We smiled, we laughed, we cooed. There were so many pages where we found out pointing at each other and laughing as we related to what was happening.

I love Rice's art style: simple (but effective) and CUTE. The black, white, and red color scheme is eye catching and consistent. Even though this book isn't your typical story, where you have to read in order beginning to end and it's all connected, you can still feel the story of their love progress. I'd absolutely welcome a sequel or few if Rice ever wished to share more of her relationship with us!

The book itself is very nice quality, too. It's a great small size that fits in the hand nicely. The pages are very strong and thick, which is great for all the re-reads I'll be putting it through! The hard cover is a smooth, satisfying soft touch finish.

Soppy is a beautiful, realistic read that I would recommend to any and every couple to share.
