Query: I lost interest

I liked the premise of the book - the writer's editor has a thing against Christians so he assigns him to write about them. However, Eldeen's character just turned me off. I know she is supposed to be somewhat eccentric and all, but there were pages and pages of nonsence monologues from her which had nothing to do with anything.Jewel and Joe Leonard's characters were not developed at all well. I did not feel any connection with them. Also, although this appeared to be during current times (he had a computer, etc), Eldeen, Jewel and Joe Leonard appeared in their speech and activities to live in the 1940's.I rarely quit reading a book, but after forcing myself to read over three quarters of it, I quit, no longer caring if or how he and his wife reunited.
