For a light read, this was a very enjoyable book. Not a lot of emphasis on the psychic, but a touch of a mystery and a little quirkiness go a long way. I enjoyed this one.

A wonderful story about a 43 year old woman who learns how to live. The novel started out slow, but ended with a bang! If the ending didn't make me cry as hard as it did, then I would have only given it 3 stars. It's amazing what the perfect ending can do to transform a reader's impressions. Must read if you like women's fiction.

The story begins when Lila Delaney, doctor of psychology and psychic, helps local police find a senator's missing daughter. Her intuition takes her straight to the daughter, and Lila's cheating fiance. Flash forward 8 months later, Lila and best friend Pepper, move to a small farm in Murray, VA . Once at the farm, Lila finds a man residing in the guest home on the property, Joe McCaffrey. Lila has her humiliating past, and Joe, former town baseball hero gone major league, now lives on the show more farm, a murder suspect in his wife's missing persons case. The story line is predictable, though the bed-jumping not nearly as prolific as often found in today's stories - making it, to me more more likable and actually, believable. show less
