I absolutely loved this book! I can't believe how much I enjoyed this book! I literally read this book in less than two days. This is a historical novel so I was completely captured by just the thought of getting to read this book.

That being said, this book is full of humor, romance, hope, heartache and mystery. It's a wonderful book for any one to read. Allison Pittman creates characters that transform into life before your eyes. I felt like I was transported back to the 1890's and it was as if I was Vada herself. I felt every struggle that she went through. Amazing! I love it when a book can do that to me. Among the things that I mentioned this book was full, it's also full of God's never ending love and His wonderful mercy.

I think that Allison Pittman did a tremendous job with creating a heart capturing story that pulls you in, keeps you hooked, and makes you crave more. I can't give this book anything lower than a 5 star praise! It just wouldn't be right! Well done, Allison, on creating a story that is life like, entertaining, and perfect for that relaxing day at home with a book!

I could not put this book down! I started reading The Fellowship thinking I would read it over a couple of weeks. I read it in one sitting! The book was not predictable, and threw in some plot twists I was not expecting. This is the kind of book that compels you to keep reading because you HAVE to find out what happens. It is well worth the read! This is a book I will read more than once!

what a wonderful read! full of romance, real-life issues; spunky and delightful!!  The two main characters had me waiting at each paragraph with a mix of laughter and suspense...i found this book well written and imaginative-with surprises concerning Finn and Liz that kept me reading long after it was time for bed! A toast to Mara Jacobs for her marvelous imagination and ability to keep me, the reader, hanging on each word. Thank you for giving me a book worth reading!

What a wonderful story and enjoyable read. I read the entire book on a 8 hour trip from Seattle to Ft. Meyer's Florida.  I couldn't put it down, each page pulling me forward to the next! I won't spoil the story but it was a love story, a mystery, and a puzzel that left me wanting more from this talented author Kim Derting!  I bought five more copies to give as gifts, and am eagerly awaiting Ms. Derting's next book.
