Cory, who apparently fears abandonment, wants love and attention and acts out when he feels threatened.
Jenni fears no man could love her with her scarred body and possible infertility--so much so that she's convinced herself to avoid romance and be content with raising her nephew, Cory, alone. She also needs to get past her feelings about her father and stepmother.
Todd blames himself for not seeing the path his brother was on and stopping him before he self-destructed.
Cory's the bridge that brings Jenni and Todd together. Cory steals Todd's laptop. Instead of calling the police, Todd works out a "Community Service" type method for Cory to help him. Jenni comes along with Cory until she trusts Todd. Jenni's also trying to start a candy store to get her business out of her house--but she needs a business partner. Todd's willing to invest--and he has a marketing background that's a good match for starting a new business.
We don't get to see what happens with Hannah. Is she really in an abusive relationship? (I'm guessing so based on the few clues we have in this book.) Does she come to work at the chocolate store? If so, does working there help her escape her abuser?
I liked that the sisters who ran the B&B decided to allow their B&B to be used for a domestic violence shelter when they decided to move closer to their niece. ( )
