Evangeline was born with one blue and one brown eye. She is orphaned as a child and nobody is willing to take her in because of her "defect." She meets two orphaned boys, and they form a kind of found family. Fast forward seven years, and the three are living together on a farm, but life isn't easy. Zach and Seth, Evangeline's "brothers" work hard to provide for themselves and are very protective of Evie. Then a stranger purchases the lot next door. He is about their age doesn't seemed bothered by Evie's eyes. As he starts to insinuate himself into their lives, Evie is thrilled to have a new friend, but her brothers are worried that he has a hidden agenda that will only break her heart.
I was traveling this week and checked this out to read on the airplane. I think I have said it before, but Witemeyer is a great choice as a travel book because her books don't take a lot of emotional depth or intellectual concentration. Evangeline is a delightful character, and all three male lead characters have likeable personalities. The book as a whole is like the flavored pretzels served on the flight--tasty, but not terribly filling. (I won't have gotten past the first chapter if I had taken The World According to Physics on the plane.) (352 p. 2018)
