I'm beginning to love the characters in this series. I've always loved midwives so Julia was a nice character to follow. I like how this book also addressed her past and how past relationships will affect future ones, but a little patience and love can help people begin to move forward. They'll never be the person they once were, but they can begin to live as the person they've become. Randall's character wasn't as intriguing to me, but he was still a strong character.
