I loved this book. It is one of my all-time favorite books.Alan Wilde is a movie director shooting on location in Wisconsin. He is a former child actor who was emotionally and physically abused by his parent. Having grown up in the movie business, he is very cynical and jaded and not happy.Susan Peachey is a young Amish widow who has lost her husband and infant daughter but still is an optimistic person. She meets Alan when she come onto the movie set in pursuit of the movie monster.Alan sees something in her and casts her as the heroine of the film (since the actress formerly in the role has suffered a drug overdose). Susan needs the money and really has no idea what she is getting into.The two from very different worlds become fascinated with each other and fall in love. But the only way for them to be together is for Susan to leave everything behind and live in Alan's world.I loved the clash of cultures and viewpoints in the story.
