Here Comes the Sun

I loved this sweet marriage-of-convenience story! The tale begins by an escaping dog ending by bringing an eligible young man and woman together in the middle of nowhere and forced to take refuge alone in the cabin of Jim's political nemesis. While the aim of the story is romantic, the question of some odd activity near an old mine and the political race takes up more of the story's time, making it really interesting and more relevant to everyday life. If it were a movie it would be drama rather than just romance.

I enjoyed how the setting in Maine in the 1920s played into the story. Though The story is not specifically Christian, I enjoyed how Julie's identity as a preacher's daughter informed her moral convictions and her decisions; also, it was a joy to get a glimpse into her parents and how her parents had raised her to make good decisions and then trusted her with them despite some of her unusual decisions.
