"It's about commitment. Saying you're going to do something and then doing it. It's the worst kind of person who goes back on a promise, even one they made to themselves." 
 I do like the quote but I don't entirely like the book. 
 WARNING: Please don't be tempted to click the spoiler link if you really intend to read the book. For those who can't wait to finish and decided not to read it, then be my guest. 
 I'm not a fan of(view spoiler)[innocent girls who were abducted from their home and got pregnant through rape and incest. But what do I expect when a man lives and sleeps together with an eight year old for nine years? (hide spoiler)] Even though it was only hinted on the book, which by the way was revealed on the last five pages. I picked up this book hoping that this was like another Laura Ingalls Wilder, but I can't even feel that there was a twist. This book requires stamina. I didn't read it in just one seating. I read this in between other books. 
 Peggy: She's fun, smart, clever, and talented. I have no quarrel with her. 
 Ute: She just earned a spot in my list of the worst mothers in the history of fiction world. 
 James: He's like Peggy, but something is really off with him. 
 Ok, so what are the positives in this book? 
 The only good thing about this book is Peggy and the writing. Peggy is a wonderful narrator as she eagerly draws you in her new world. The pace is slow and relaxing. This is how I finished the book, I was hooked with the writing and curious of the ending. I just hope it has a better twist or there could have been more on the ending.It could have gone better. Others might have loved this book but this isn't just for me.
