Pickpick

This was one of those books where you are waiting for the central story to develop and then it ends. I give this book between a pick and so-so. It was interesting, informative and even heartbreaking at times. I also loved the heroine and friend/preacher women too, but I felt I wanted more from the A and B storylines. I enjoyed what I read but wanted more from all the stories. There was a beginning and middle but not a satisfying end.
