This book has sat in my to read pile for several months and it's been quietly asking me to read it lately and I finally picked it up and yes, what a read it was! I loved this book, from the setting, to the intrigue of the past that surrounds all the characters, from the refreshing way this story is told and the idea that we are all searching for a kind of Eden - perfection, paradise. \\r\\n\\r\\nGetting to know Joseph and Miranda was an great experience - especially the complicated history between Joseph and his brother. Watching Joseph move on from the past, while Miranda digs further into her past to find answers slowly brings the two together. As peace is made with the past, futures can be forged. \\r\\n\\r\\nEden - the bubbly bright, somewhat adventurous girl is a riot! The reader can't help but like her and get involved with her adventures. I also like how her Uncle Joseph keeps tabs on her without being overbearing about it - clever!\\r\\n\\r\\nOverall, I found this to be a beautiful read!
