“All of our little imperfections are what makes us so lovable” (quote Tracy remembers from her father)Tracy is the type of personality that has her life planned out in great detail, with school, her job and her future career.  Little did she know that the best things in life happen when you don’t follow the plans you have in place.  Sometimes you have to leave it to fate to find your true destiny.The story begins when JC and Tracy are on their last day in Greece for their annual summer vacation.  Tracy had no idea that she was going to meet a man that had the ability to change her entire outlook on life and her future.Upon their first interaction the connection that Tracy and Giovanni had to one another was undeniable.  The chemistry that was felt from both of them was overwhelming.  Tracy was not sure how to handle it but knew she had to enjoy the moment.When JC and Tracy were leaving the wedding neither Tracy nor Giovanni wanted to let the other go.  Giovanni stated, “I want to see you again. I would travel half way around the world to see you again.”When the phone call never came, her world began to fall apart. Until Tom and her mom give her a gift to travel and discover what she truly wants to do with her life, not just a job but a career to love.A memory of Tracy and her dad in regards to not over analyzing (which Tracy had a tendency to do) “Don’t outsmart your common sense, Peanut. Work hard and honest, love what you do, and good things will come.”This is the third book in The Mathews Family Series and just like the others I HAVE LOVED them all.  The characters are loveable and relatable.  The family that is created between the Mathews and Clemmins (& Lisa, Benny and their kids) is a bond that is stronger than blood and a love that has the power to conquer all.  The feelings and philosophies about life that are found throughout the series are inspiring and meaningful.  Even though they have had tragedy in their lives they still choose to live each day to the fullest as they were taught from their mom and dad.They truly believe:“Everything happens for a reason. This is our fate.”
