This was a story of Celia Randall; a lady who has lost loved ones and feels that God is playing a cruel game with her. She travels to Calinfornia with her dog Hank for a photography assignment and finds herself in a like/hate relationship with her new boss Marcus Stratton. She refuses to accept a close relationship with anyone so she won't ever be hurt again. And the rest of the story you can pretty well figure out.

I must admit there were parts in this story that did not hold my attention, but then I would come across another section that had me smiling and enjoying myself. I appreciated the insights that Celia's "friends" had regarding her misplaced thoughts on God. The author did a good job of answering some of Celia's questions about how she viewed God and for that reason alone I would encourage people to read this story. It was a quick read for me and although it had its slow moments, overall it was an enjoyable story. ( )

Epigraph
"Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days . . .
days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening
a thousand windows to show us God."
--John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra
Dedication
To my wonderful mom,
Jean Lynelle Burroughs MacDonald,
with love.

How incredible that one finite human body should contain
a heart as limitless as yours.
There is no greater evidence of God's love for me
than in the fact that I was born to you.
First words
"No untroubled day has ever dawned for me."
--Seneca

The sun sank low on the horizon, gracing purple-shadowed foothills with beams of pale spun-gold.
