I think it is on the level of psychological Christian fiction as is “The Atonement Child” which is a very different audience than romantic comedy. But it’s day will come!

So glad you read the review.

Just knowing you can write like that makes me appreciate all your other writing even more. <br /><br />It is a little like watching a very fine country music guitarist switch over to the masterful playing of a very difficult classical piece of music. (Like Roy Clark can do). You know if they can play something that difficult and beautiful so well that when they are playing their country music they probably are playing it as well as it can be played bu anyone.<br /><br />But “The Bossy Bridegroom’s” day will come. “It’s a Great Life” was ignored when it first came out. The studio did not even spend a few dollars to renew its copyright. Then it got in front of the right audience and the rest is film history. “Bossy” has to get in front of the right audience. Hopefully it won’t take as long as “It’s a Great Life” did. : ) <br />Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865657457488610097.post-82981378785724064692013-02-25T04:00:38.056-06:002013-02-25T04:00:38.056-06:00I agree on all counts.

Vince, what an awesome job of uncovering a jewel of a book.<br /><br />And I concur: 5 Stars, all the way.Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865657457488610097.post-5541985396648811842013-02-24T23:25:34.520-06:002013-02-24T23:25:34.520-06:00THE BOSSY BRIDEGROOM will be on my TBK list!
