The Country Gyal Journal is not primarily love story. The narrator writes her thoughts and events from her life that she assumes needs to be written down. It is a story and a diary in one. Terry is not afraid of life, she is a dreamer, determined to become something more than the natal circumstances that she was born into. Most heroines in Crystal Evans Novels brings a piece of herself into the character that makes the protagonist realistic. You do not read a Crystal Evans Book and not feel as if you are in the story and that thsi character is talking to you.
