A bunch of interesting characters and incidents. I found it poorly structured and far too long.

Glenda Toews serves drinks in the Corky’s pub in Chilliwack River Valley, British Columbia. She gets a lot of visitors who have interesting stories, which is the subject of the book. A large part of the book is focused on Daryl, an intelligent, high-flying astute investor. He is married but the conversations indicate the marriage has problems. There is also Daryl's prior personal story – grandmother was from Stuttgart and owned considerable property. His grandfather was a musician and artist. His father established a successful auto business in Calgary. The inheritance is troubled with disputes. This personal narration is intertwined with the other stories the book covers. Darly grows to be close to Glenda and her husband Haney. Over time, Glenda trusts Daryl and invests money based on his advice.

I found the growing closeness between Glenda & Haney with Daryl to make for interesting reading, as also Daryl’s relationships. I found the switches between incidents to be abrupt. The book is far too long, and I found it difficult to stay engaged. It was not difficult to guess where the story was headed.

Couldn’t put this down once I started it. You go through all the emotions by the end, and man… it makes you angry, but the author’s trust in God to provide provides her with motivation to keep going. He always finds a way through all the struggles and obstacles life throws our way.

I just could not get into this one. I must be the only person who requested it who feels that way, because every reader seems to love it, but for some reason I just cannot get into the story or find it interesting and for the life of me I cannot figure out why... For some unfathomable reason it is just not a good fit for me despite an intriguing premise and a fantastic cover.
