A truly great, great story. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Jo has a wonderful way of writing that just makes you FEEL everything. I shed a tear when I read about Morgan and Jane's horrific experiences. But they were really what brought them together. I rejoiced at the justice that prevailed in the end. And of course I loved the heartfelt way Jo described their progressing relationship and tender, blossoming love. Simply a perfect read.
