I was given a copy of Picking Clover by Bobby Hutchinson in exchange for an honest review.I've previously read 2 other books in Bobby Hutchinson's Doctor series so I'm familiar with her writing and was looking for to reading this one.  Picking Clover is a bit different from the other romances in that it's not your typical girl meets guy, girl and guy fall in love, have a misunderstanding and then get back together to live happily ever after.Doctor Michael Forsythe and his wife Polly suffer a huge loss when their 9 year old daughter dies from an incurable form of cancer.  Picking Clover is a tale of how Michael and Polly deal with their enormous grief in their own ways while learning to deal with a financial loss after their advisor betrays that trust.  Is their marriage strong enough to survive all that they've been through?Now for my review -  I can't even imagine the heartbreak that comes after the loss of your child so it wasn't a light and fluffy read at all, and at times it was hard to read about, but overall I did enjoy the story.  In Picking Clover, has created a story of heartbreak and takes the reader through the stages of grief while giving us hope that things will turn out alright!
