I loved this book! Way more religious undertones than I expected but makes sense for the time period. The book did a great job of having an interesting premise and setting while also making the reader invested in the characters. Kept wanting to pick this up so I could know what happened next. Would definitely read a sequel.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a slow burn but one I thoroughly enjoyed. It was gripping, and you wanted the protagonist to succeed and get to Pagosa Springs to educate people about fertility. A brilliant read, and I can’t wait to read it again in the future.
