This is a wonderful, heartwarming story about strength and perseverance amidst injustice and cruelty. This historical romance is set at a time where medical problems like epilepsy were seen as a form of madness and the people were institutionalized. There are so many endearing characters in this book. I hope that many of them will get their own stories. It is also the story of a town coming together to stand by one of their own. I truly enjoyed this captivating story and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great storyline and wonderful characters, This book is definitely a 'must read'.
