Okay, there's a really weird and gratuitous sluts/wives thing going on. I don't know what that's about, nor do I want to know. If any of the weird romantic stuff in any of these books has some basis in biography, I do not want to know.

It was a good story of love and redemption. It was all over the place with point of view. I couldn't tell if it was third person limited with four different people or if it was supposed to be third person omniscient.
