This book starts slow and several members did not finish the book. Everyone who finished the book really liked it and found it inspiring. Most of us plan on reading the next book What Difference Do it Make?

Several in our group thought the beginning was slow. After that they couldn't put it down. Many felt they learned a lot about life after the Civil War.

This book gave a graphic description of medical treatment during the civil war. It was well researched. It was also a book about women's rights. Mary was unable to get into medical school because she was a woman. She becomes a doctor at the end of the book.

This was one of the few books that everyone in our book club finished reading. We usually have a couple who are not interested enough to finish reading our book.

We liked the way the story was told from 2 very different perspectives. A couple members found it hard to keep the many characters straight in the first part of the book.

Only half of our book club finished this book. It was not a fun book to read. The main problem people had was the way it changed from present tense to past tense in the same paragraph and we were sometimes left wondering where we were. I found it easier to follow by the time I had read half of the book.

Our book club had very mixed opinions about this book. Only half of our club finished the book. The half that finished the book liked it, although it took them about 100 pages before they wanted to read more. The half that did not finish it found it difficult to get involved in because it jumped between time periods and characters.

We enjoyed it only because we had been to most of the places listed in the book. The story is written by many authors and we felt it didn't flow as well as it could have.

We read this book because we had been reading heavier books and wanted an easy book. This book had more sex in it than the last Sandra Brown book I read. It was a fun mystery. Half of our group liked it and half didn't finish it. Pretty normal for our group.
