A tale of a heroine, but not the one you think it might be. Of forbidden love, and of sacrifice. Of loss, and of the joys and pains of life. This is a story which will make you cry, so prepare yourself for the tears to come.

For plot, a solid A+ (9). The three main characters revealed from youth until life happens.

For technical score, an outstanding 10. It's possible that there were a small number of errors in the story, but the story itself was so compelling I simply can't recall any.

For personal appeal, an A (8). Why not higher? There is so much pain in this story that, as much as I like it, I don't want to experience that hurt again. Great little read, but be prepared.
