Shaun isn't your classic hero - he's a recovering alcoholic and has massive issues with insecurity. But neither is Harleigh your classic heroine, despite being in a relationship for 3 years, she's still a virgin and has turned down Shaun's marriage proposal. They are coasting along, life seems pretty predictable ...and then Shaun is involved in a horrific traffic accident.Glimpses is a love story about people who stand on the edge of an abyss and would give anything to get back to normal. In the battle to get Shaun well, they discover what truly matters in life in a most moving and inspirational way.This book is gripping and difficult to put down. Although the subject matter sounds depressing, it isn't because for each down there is an up (ie Harleigh's brother sees her distress and drops his prejudice in order to support her.) This is the most dialogue driven book I've read and it works well - it keeps the pace moving along and doesn't drag at any point. I felt the author had real empathy with the characters and was particularly strong at portraying Shaun's frustration and insecurity balanced against Harleigh's healing love.  A well written and unusual romance - definately worth a read.
