Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-13 00:00:00 Andrew Dodds This was a delightful read! How I love Cody. He is so sweet and just wants to be helpful. Brenda knows this and lets him help, not realizing she needs more help than she even knows. Her marriage is rocky, she's an empty nester and life is not where she thought it would be. Steve, her hubby, is a good guy. He has no idea what the issues are. But that's totally a guy thing. These characters feel so real. Like my neighbors, whom I have known my whole life and can see the stress in their lives. I feel it. Definitely love the ending! I love when things come together just as you would expect them too. Yup, people are gonna love this one!!

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-02 00:00:00 Albert Dipasquale This book was such a wonderful surprise! I started reading it and could not put it down. The story is about a couple in their mid-forties dealing with the empty nest syndrome. Brenda Hansen who is married to Steve Hansen, is dealing with anger, depression and loneliness that sets in when the children are gone. Steve Hansen owns and operates a Real Estate business that is taking his time and attention away from his marriage. His wife, Brenda, focuses her "empty nest" feelings towards her husband Steve for his lack of interest and support in her needs. Steve is unwilling to admit that he is partly at fault for the direction their marriage is headed and blames it all on his wife. A young man with slight mental disability shows up on Brenda's door step one day and brings with him a belief in God and being a good Christian. Several ladies in town with varying ages gather together at the hair salon and form the "Ladies Tea Club" to meet once a week to be helpful and do good Christian things. This story brought back so many memories and feelings for me as I was reading. Maybe, if I had read this book many years ago when I was dealing with all the same feelings and emotions, the path I eventually followed would have been a different one. The author, Gary Chapman, is a marriage counselor and this book is the first in a series that is based on his "The Four Seasons of Marriage". I am so looking forward to reading his next book. This is a heart warming Christian story that every Christian should pick up and read. Especially those who are finding themselves dealing with an "Empty Nest".
