Ms. Cooper is a favorite author of mine so when I got an email to read her latest before it's released I was very excited.  This book is different from her others, the same special way with words however the feelings are stronger.  We have a family living in a relatively small community with three children.  As the kids have grown into teenagers they find love, but two of them find that love in somebody that is "different" from them.  This family is part of a specific religious community choosing to follow certain rules of dress and manner of working, for example.  The choices that are made by the teenagers and their parents about their future will stick with them forever.  Matt is brought back for the funeral of his grandmother and Pandora's Box of emotions is opened up and seems to turn this family upside down.  Questioning their decisions eighteen years ago they are forced to "wake up" and decide to change or suffer in silence.  This is a beautiful love story about second chances, finding love without judgment and putting others before your own happiness.
