Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Cute holiday story. When Angie meets Forrest in front of the youth center where she volunteers, she knows that he is the one for her. Forrest is back from Iraq after sustaining an injury to his leg from an IED, and he's suffering from PTSD. He's attracted to Angie but thinks he's too damaged and too old for her. Angie will not be put off so easily though. Angie is a kindhearted heroine, always looking for the positive. Forrest is having a hard time trying to adjust to life back in the States. I liked the volunteer work Angie did and got Forrest involved in, helping the military and their families, and Forrest's war veterans support group. The book had a nice small-town feel and sense of community. I loved seeing Smiley the dog again. A quick, easy, light read. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Thunder Canyon Nugget A Season of Thanks and Giving Next time you pass Major Forrest Traub on the street, make sure you give him a real Thunder Canyon-style welcome! The handsome soldier hasn't smiled much since moving here from Rust Creek Falls, but this hasn't deterred our favorite do-gooder, Angie Anderson. Angie's convinced she's met the man she's going to marry. Forrest sees Angie as a rosy-eyed optimist, too young and innocent for a man who's lived through Iraq. Yet her irresistible warmth may actually be thawing his hardened heart. Suddenly she's got him volunteering with teens, arranging holiday events, even--gasp--smiling. Can Angie's unwavering faith rescue Forrest from himself? Give thanks, loyal readers, for your many blessings--and hope that Angie and Forrest can find theirs! No library descriptions found. |
