Such a wonderful lens through which to view this poignant, emotional story. Lara Farr is the owner of the Blue Hyacinth Restaurant in Seattle. Wyatt Hansen is a corporate trouble shooter as well as a grieving widower.Lara is refreshingly engaging and bright - full of a spirit that can't help but awaken Wyatt's affections. Plus, she has a mission for him: Keep her restaurant - which is a community institution - viable and fresh.Husband Material is a story of second chances and letting go. Sooner or later, we all must face the truth that the past has passed - and that releasing it doesn't mean you forget it, or treasure it any the less - it simply means you're embracing God's plans and loving embrace anew.Lara and Wyatt's tale is charming, full of warmth and a tender realism that has already prompted me to purchase Ms. Irby's White Rose Publishing debut, Love Letters.  I can't wait to read it!Five stars - and bravo, Ms. Irby!Marianne EvansHearts Crossing (Woodland)A Face in the CloudsHearts Surrender (Woodland)
