Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-26 00:00:00 Thomas Jackson A young woman, recently widowed and a 15 year old pregnant run away have an unlikely meeting which leads to a healing friendship for both. I was challenged to read a “sweet” book during February, so knew that the sugar level in this one would be higher than in my normal literary diet. Therefore, I can’t complain about this aspect of the story. But, I do wonder if it is possible to write a book that is both sweet and that respects the intelligence of the reader. Hood pounded the reader over the head with every bit of emotional information. Is it really necessary to remind the reader every 100 words that the young widow is jealous of her friends who are starting families or that she blames herself for her husband’s vehicular death, for example? I also did not find the teenaged Ruby a credible portrayal of adolescence. This story dragged for me. I have also read short stories by Hood and I think the confines they present work to her advantage.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-20 00:00:00 Valerie Turner There is an under age girl, Ben should be on statutory rape charges for even looking at a 14 year old! Where are social services, all this girl has is a grieving woman who has a patronising mother and sister and who seems to think Ruby is her own personal broodmare. Olivia allows this girl to rob her of what few momentoes she has of her husband because I think calling the police would have put her into the care system she desperately needed. I had very mixed feelings as I finished it.
