Continuation from last week

Well, my laptop crashed last night so I had to wait until this morning to be able to post.  Anyway, I read yesterday from 7-830 and just read more of the book from last week.  I am really liking it a lot.  The story continued with the couple making arrangements for gear for the river.  It talked about how the husband went to her doctor's house in the middle of the night to get extra medicine.  The doctor turned away so that he could steal the key to the medicine cabinet since he couldnt give him that much medicine.  The started down the river but didnt get far because the river was very shallow at the beginning so he had to pull the canoes most of the way.  It also talked about how the couple first met.  He saved her from being attacked.  She is a socialite and daughter of the then govener and now senator.  He was poor and at school on an art scholarship.  He went to a party she had because he had saved her and they really started to connect.  She seems to be very different from most of the socialites in Charleston.

I really like this book.  I really like how the author goes from the end of their story to the beginning.  The back and forth helps to keep it interesting.  However, he did spend about half of a chapter describing the river and its twists and turns.  That did not have to be so detailed.  I think I'm going to finish this book for my reading assignment.
