Extremely well-written story of a wide-eyed love story that took place in Canada in the 50's. Based on fact, it's a realistic story of love, hope and the fight to gain acceptance and independence. A working class girl and an upper class young man just want to be together- but the social differences are simply too much for his family.
I love it when you read a book where the dialogue makes you feel like you are listneing in on a conversation...flowing, not stilted. This book speaks volumes and really touched my heart. ( )
