My Thoughts On The Book:  This was a beautiful novella. I am a huge fan of  Rachel Hauck. This novella touched a lot of nerves with me because I was Ginger.  I found myself sobbing silently in various parts of the book.  The novella is written to show the meaning of  inner beauty with a message that beauty is just something you can see on the outside. I loved both main characters. Tom and found myself hoping they would connect.  I loved how Tom's concern for Gingers spirituality was gentle and loving. This book was such a romantic interlude that you just found yourself caught up in the story before you knew what hit you.  My only problem with this novella is that it ended way to soon.  I was not ready to give it up.  This is a precious and tender read and I encourage you to get out there and start reading.
