A romantic-drama, OLD FASHIONED centers on Clay Walsh, a former frat boy who gives up his reckless carousing and now runs an antique shop in a small Midwestern college town. There, he has become notorious for his lofty and outdated theories on love and romance as well as for his devout belief in God. When Amber Hewson, a free-spirited young woman with a restless soul, drifts into the area and rents the apartment above his shop, she finds herself surprisingly drawn to his strong faith and noble ideas, which are new and intriguing to her. And Clay, though he tries to fight and deny it, simply cannot resist being attracted to her spontaneous and passionate embrace of life. Ultimately, Clay must step out from behind his relational theories and Amber must overcome her own fears and deep wounds as the two of them, together, attempt the impossible: an "old-fashioned" and God-honoring courtship in contemporary America.

My Thoughts:
I am a big fan of the traditional courting mentality and chivalry, so I was glad to get this package set. When I was in the period of my life where I was dating, I always said I wouldn't date someone I couldn't see marrying. Afterall that is the whole point of dating - to find your lifelong partner, right? Clay turns his life around and maybe takes it to the extreme at times, but has good intentions. And no life is without it's testing and challeneges, which Amber presents. A well written novel, and enjoyable film.
