I enjoyed The Vow. It was really short and did not end at all the way I thought it would. It is so short, I dare not say too much about it for fear of giving it all away. There is much more than I would have expected packed into the tiny little book. Things about character, treatment of humans, being an example and a leader even as a youth, and doing what is right even when it is hard. Despite its small size, The Vow tells a good, surprising story and teaches worthwhile morals to all of its readers. Sweet little Rosemarie is faced with difficult situations and choices. She is valiant and pure even though she is only a young teen. I appreciated the fact that she took the large responsibilities presented laid upon her despite the sacrifices she would have to make. I look forward to reading more of her story. One thing to note about The Vow is that it seems more like a prologue to Jody’s new book, An Uncertain Choice, than a stand-alone novella. It has merit and sweetness on its own, but will be much more fulfilling for the reader to be read in conjunction to An Uncertain Choice. I eagerly look forward to An Uncertain Choice and applaud Jody Hedlund for a lovely prequel novella.
