I loved their first kiss depending on a little boy learning to read and a broom! The audiobook version of this book took a little getting used to at first. They each have fears and their own struggles to overcome. Della’s and Owen’s story was a great slow build romance that was enjoyable to anticipate. Though this book focuses mainly on members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, anyone who enjoys faith based stories would enjoy this. Showing both the trials of imperfect people trying to live their faith, but also the beautiful support that they lend to each other as different cultures from all parts of the world strive to live together. The element of faith was so well done in this story. The story itself was at times funny, sweet, romantic, heart wrenching, and hopeful as the lives of these brave miners, their families, and a devoted school teacher play out against one of the worst mining disasters in U.S. I loved the various cultures in the story including: Welch, Greek, Finnish, Italian, and German to name a few. My Loving Vigil Keeping was hard to put down! The characters were so rich and endearing! They were people you’d like to meet in real life and get to know. Heartfelt historical romance based on true events
