Review # 1 was written on 2009-09-06 00:00:00 Amanda Alverez I adored this book for many reasons: 1. It is a clean read. No trash or filth involved in the entire book. Harder and harder to find these days. 2. It is a light and easying read. 3. Lisa Wingate never disappoints me with her stories. 4. Being a Texan, I love that she uses Texas as the backdrop of most of her stories....I feel more connected because I actually know the locations she chooses. 5. I feel that she completely nails the mind of a person left unable to communicate by a stroke...the way they are often treated, as though their brain doesn't work. I also thought she expressed how many elderly who are independently taking care of grown children or their spouses feel...the desperation they feel about who will take care of everyone when they are gone. 6. First person is my favorite format...First person by multiple character is even better. I love that this story was told in first person by characters with opposing views. I enjoyed this book as I do all of the Lisa Wingate novels...but this was a standout.

I tend to rush to read my library books because I have to return them and wait around on the ones I've bought. Silly hunh? Of course, I've had the new Marissa de los Santos for at least two months and haven't read it. yet. What's up with me? So many books, so little time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 9/10/08 Once again, Lisa did not disappoint. This one reminded me of Good Hope Road more than her Texas romances. I just love her books. She makes me laugh and smile and grin in rueful recognition all the while reminding me of some important lessons. Things like the importance of trust and family and service to others. Loved this book!
