The story was very noble to say the least. It was very touching how the town came together to rebuild a lost property, and have it led by the man who lost his fiancee. The villains in the book were written in with enough lines that I sometimes forget them, but they come up again to further clarify their significance in the story. The only thing that bothered me was it's subtle predictability. When men and women argue in these situations, it's almost likely going to be a romantic affair that follows.
