Every detail must be pieced back togetherâ??from a childhood in rural Mississippi to the early days of her career, from the unintentional hurt inflicted on her daughter to a fifteen year-old secret love affair that went tragically wrong. But for Carole an extraordinary opportunity has arisen in a life-threatening crisis: a second chance to count her blessings, heal wounded hearts, recapture lost loveâ?¦ and to live a life that will truly honor othersâ??beginning with herself.

Steel does it again. Her usual fast moving, teary eyed, believable story line. Another book of realistic family problems becoming good in the end. All you might have heard of losing your memory and a good job telling problems that might arise from that. ( )
