I read this book not realizing it was about a real charity.  The book had quite a lot of emotionalism and descriptions of feelings that parallels what cancer surviving friends have described to me, and it made me instantly feel the realism of the storyline.  The heroine is a breast cancer survivor who has intense shame (shame is not really the right word here, but best I can do) over her experience.  She hides as much as she can from everyone, fearing their reactions.  She also has severe body issues from the results of the treatments.  The hero is not only a past love, but also one of the men involved in the charity.  I myself have never thought of fishing as a way to self discovery and peace, so the entire theme of the charity surprised me.  The descriptions and  discussions of fishing, however; made me wonder if I should take out that old rod in my basement I inherited from my father and try it myself!  The book has a hero, a heroine, and a group doing heroic healing.  It has a happy ending and a wonderful message.  I would recommend it for anyone who loves true emotion in their stories.
