Typical 'escape from societal restraints and recover amidst nature' romance, yet it manages to connect its characters to me. There are characters that make you want to blame for everything that is wrong, but you can't, because they try their best to make things work.
Truly an emotional and touching book. I read it in one sitting. Death is always lurking in the future, but knowing and accepting it as the inevitable is what allows us to appreciate life, and everything that it brings, that much more.

By page 30, I could predict exactly what was going to happen and, therefore, there was no incentive to continue reading. Chick Lit Light - way too light!
An excellent book, but-- word to the wise-- keep a box of tissue handy!!
This is the first book I read of Luanne Rice....she had me hooked. Wonderful story teller.
One of yet another favorite by Mrs Rice.....if u had of countinued on instead of stopping at page 80 u would have discovered the ending was worth it!
One of my favorite books I have ever read. The story sticks with you long after you read it.
BORING!! I stopped at pg 80
