ben ben Ben... I think you know you are deserving. So deserving. You can't let a mistake define you. that is what Ben didn't understand when this book began. he wallowed in fear and guilt. guilt for something that was justified and fear that we would become something he wasn't.Because of this he kept trying to push Kate away. so noble. so precious. Fortunately for us readers, he sucked at it. I mean really sucked at it. Thank you Ms. Scott because Ben so deserved to be cared for and see that he had family and loved ones.Kate- upbeat pushy Kate who was too inquisitive sometimes for her own good. But man if she wasn't this book wouldn't have been so wonderful.So Ben rolls into town and is there for a reason. It took alot of courage for him to come and face what he was but he did and yeah for us. He meets Kate and Kate's friend in the diner and Kate is instantly attracted. In order to keep him in town she tricks him but does get him a place to stay. this leads to his secrets being revealed to Miss M and no not what you are thinking. Miss M is a society woman in her 80's that is very rigid in her ways. Miss M makes him keep things from the others but lets him stay on to work on the house. This delights Kate but causing emotional turmoil in Ben. he likes Kate but is afraid of himself. and what he thinks he will be so he pushes her away. Only to succumb to Kate anyways because his feelings are too much for him.this leads to revealing a secret that is bigger than him and him trying to leave. That leads to Miss M doing something silly and almost ruining his future. Which leads to Kate showing him her true self and showing how much she cares and stands by him.A book on how one person's love can help another breakthrough and find their way out of the abyss.
