This book was originally published in 1999 as Hearts and Flowers.  However, there were a few parts that made the story feel a little like the 80's.  Such as there were no cell phones, the use of a mid-wife for child birth and the heroine constantly wore panty hose.... in July!!  Other than that the rest of the story still had a modern feel to it.  Julia and Caleb both deal with issues from their past that they must come to terms with in order to find happiness in their future.  Caleb's emotional scars run much deeper than Julia's though.  Julia is a strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and goes after it.  Caleb, however, is a haunted man and fears that reaching for that happiness will cause nothing but more heartbreak.  Julia nevers gives up on Caleb though.  The story just reeled me in and didn't leave me disappointed.
