Kurland does a super job at creating her characters and scenes so that you feel like you are observing what is going on, rather than reading about it. This story is about a woman who has very low self-esteem (thanks to her father) and a man who was blinded in an act of treachery. They both feel like they aren’t good enough for the other, but a vow brings them together and they learn how to love. Kurland is very witty and had me laughing, but the book is serious as well.
