this book has been one of my comfort reads for so long, but it gets me every single time.
I had to read this book for my capstone class at Lesley University. I went into it thinking it was just another school book but then later fell in love with the story and characters. What a beautiful novel! The connection between Christine, Paul and the children was very heart warming I also did not know this was a true story until the very end of the novel, which made me even more awestruck after finishing the novel.
Christine finds herself on a mission of volunteer service in Peru at the behest of her best friend after her fiancé leaves her at the altar. While there, she becomes emotionally attached to the children of an orphanage managed by a young doctor, Paul Cook. Of course she and Paul come to love each other, and as with most of Evans' books, both come with emotional wounds and residual sensitivity from past experiences. Together, they walk the healing road, and find happiness, with a mild surprise twist at the end. Evans is again at the top of his game, and we are the beneficiaries.
My least favorite Richard Paul Evans book by far. I felt like I was taking a beginners Spanish class for half the book and a South American hot spots tour for the rest. I did not buy the love story either. Too intense too fast but maybe I'm just too pessimistic for these types of love tales.
LOVE every other Richard Paul Evans book I've read though.

Quick read. Story of a young woman’s fiancée calling off the wedding just days ahead of their wedding. She & a friend go on a 10 day volunteer trip to Peru. Who they meet & their adventures is not totally believable. But a good story anyway.
Not quite a typical romance novel.
Not quite a typical romance novel.
The story itself is chicklit in pure teenaged form: chaste, romantic, happily-ever after. The characters give the illusion of being dynamic, but they're fairly two-dimensional and stereotypical in gender roles. Like Disney in written form. If you're fourteen and a girl, you will probably love this book. Otherwise, I suggest finding an alternative.
At least this audio book was narrated by Campbell Scott, and he has an awesome voice, so there was that redeeming aspect.
