Query: Unlike any other work of Gist's

I thought this book was very surprising for so many reasons. Gist's stories are usually so smooth sailing and unmessy. Two people with Christian values and beliefs meet and presto... you have a couple. But this one was interesting because it taught me about how even the best of intentions can get lost in our own agendas. And being Christian doesn't mean you have a license to judge others. The hero being a former missionary was also a big surprise. And the way he grew to love the heroine was a lot less mushy. I like mush. The book was all in all really good, but it wasn't hilarious like the synopsis promises. The only funny part I thoroughly enjoyed and still smile about is *SPOILER ALERT* the part when Rachel gets into the carriage with her suitor and Johnnie. And Johnnie keeps winking at her and blowing in her ear to annoy her. I just grinned full out at that. So cute.
