review 1: This book was such a pleasant suprise! I enjoyed the first few chapters but it was so slow, I just plodded through them, using this as my send me to sleep book. Then the grace in this book just crept up on me. The character development is stupendious with characters deep, quirky, and believable, the dialogue is spot on, the plot is over aching, and the setting perfect. I believe this is one of those wonderful books that comes along rarely and when it does, is savored, like fine wine. I can't recommend this book highly enough. 4 stars!
review 2: What do an ex-con, a woman minister, a long-distance truck driver, a single mother and Wisconsin have in common? Well, they figure prominently in this book. It's quite a cast of characters and a lot of words. On... moree description of Rhodes' writing as "Steinbeck, with a little touch of Michener," which isn't a bad thought. It's wordy, like Michener, and the characters are likeable and colorful. I enjoyed the read very much but did think maybe the last 25 pages could have been moved up a bit... less
