My thoughts
What a wonderful delightful read! Such a good story and it flowed so well. So many things happening it kept me turning the pages, love, a secret that had me guessing till almost the end, forgiveness, understanding, and even a pandemic!
Aggie was my favorite character she was very kind, loving, and strong. It was sad that she thought she should run away from her home and family. She always opened her heart to others though and made sure to always care about their lives. She just never wanted to marry.
I loved the friendships that were made and how the townspeople came together to help one another. Just a good wholesome story and a great, great, read!
