A heartfelt story about a subject that seems to touch most everyone's lives these days...cancer. I didn't think this book was as good as the first one in this series, but it was still good. I can't wait to read the next book and find out more about the Baxter family.

This review was written by the author.
In this book, I paired Claire (Rosie's best friend from A Suitable Wife) with Travis Baxter, a hard-working construction company owner. She has no family to speak of and has never known what it's like to belong to a big, loving bunch like the Baxters. Travis has never known anything else, and his empty house mocks him.

At first glance, these two don't seem like they'd be a good fit, but they surprised me during the creation of this book. Yes, I'm the author and yes, I'm rating my own book. I believe in it and the story as it unfolded. ( )
