The author depicts the story of an attractive young “ widow” whose hus­ band has been declared dead in the Korean war. The latter turns up after Gail Drieth has become engaged, aft­ er a week’s acquaintance, to an evan­ gelistic song leader, David Vincent. After many improbable sequences, in­ cluding the death of Gail’s husband, Gail and David are married. One might question the effect upon Chris­ tian young people of the type of love portrayed here. Theological questions arise as well—Gail stating on page 47, “ I am not a Christian any more,” and on page 174, “ I am a Christian again now.” 282 pages; cloth; Wm. B.
