Anne is intelligent and struggling with career decisions that will change the course of her life. Jake is also intelligent, but he knows where his future lies, a future he's chosen because of a painful failure in his past. They face a storm, a sweet mystery, and their own preconceived ideas of what a forever relationship should be. I love smart characters, and aren't perfect, who live their Christian beliefs.Add in some wonderful secondary characters, Ralph, Anne's mother, and others, memories of Anne's aunt, all gathered in a town worth calling home, along with so many little touches and details, blend to create a sense of realness. Jake and his brother Greg are quite the pair, and I'm hoping there's a story coming for Greg, soon. Learning that some of the stories shared within the tale are anecdotes from Patty's own family added to the charm. It's a satisfying read from beginning to end.I found myself highlighting several favorite lines and passages. I thought this one gave the best overall feel for the story: "God had no problems, just plans."
