Mary Calmes is just a wonderful writer. Usually, pretty much flawless - great, deeply drawn characters, believable, and sometimes witty, dialog and no shortage of moments that move your heart.I am surprised that I like this. I don't like short - neither short stories nor novellas - because I really enjoy the slow development of characters and plot, and I need time to get really invested in the characters. The only reason I purchased this short book is that I'd already read all of her full-length books available for the Kindle.And I'm so glad I did. I won't bore you with the plot details (after all, Mary Calmes weaves her plots infinitely better than I ever could) or listing the characters. I just want you to know that this book is almost profoundly moving - it is all about family (the good and the bad) and love.And no one writes about love better than Mary Calmes.
