Title: I wanted to like this book, but couldn't
Product review: I wanted to like this book, I really did. The story had good Christian morals, but was handled in such a ham handed manner, that it came over as a Victorian morality tale. A little girl, who is sweet to the point where "everyone looks for her angel's wings" is also dying of a dread disease, her parents are too poor to afford the cure, her sweetness reaches a bitter old vagrant. The vagrant, now a bright and shining pillar of the community, turns out to be... I won't spoil it, but can't you just guess what the end is? This could have been a great book, but the author poured the saccharine on until it overwhelmed the story. I don't recommend this book, but if the author can learn a little perspective, I'm sure she'll become one of the greats.
