About The Author
Sophomore Novelist, Long-Time Believer
Martha Rogers placed her faith in Jesus Christ 65 years ago. He has seen her through her step-father's sexually abusive behavior toward her sister and brother, her own breast cancer, two mastectomies, two miscarriages, her husband's heart attack, her grandson's cystic fibrosis, and the deaths of her parents. She holds a Master's degree in education and enjoyed a 36-year teaching career. To say she's an inspiration to those of us trying to walk a faithful path is a gross understatement.

Review
This is another great book by Martha Rogers! This is a very sweet story about young love and combating prejudice. I really enjoyed the budding romance between Luke and Dove, as well as the fact that neither was willing to sneak around to be able to visit each other. I appreciated the honesty in their relationships with their parents, even when it was difficult for them. As far as Christian fiction goes, this is definitely very much on the Christian side. For me that wasn't a problem and I really enjoyed the story, but it might not appeal to someone who doesn't like something so overtly Christian. However, this story would be appropriate for younger readers also.

Thanks to Glass Road Public Relations for providing me a copy of this book to review.
