filled with happiness. They make powerful bookends to a memorable
novel." -- Dear Author
"There are many messages in this book, but for me it was about not
living or dwelling in the past, but moving forward, even if that
forward is in the past. Stumped you didn't I? I'm not trying to be

you of a book that will keep you immersed, interested and
guessing." -- Heart to Heart: The B&N Romance Blog

every word rather than merely reading them. This is the kind of
book you never want to end and you'll never forget." -- A Writer's
Ramblings
