To possible readers: This book is published as a Christian book and religion plays a recurring part, it is not a "preachy" book but if religion in a story bothers or turns you off, bypass this book. But if it doesn't and you like a good story about people and how they handle things, get and enjoy.This is a story about 2 people, Luke and Emma, who have suffered losses in their life and how they have handled it. The story is mainly set in Colorado Springs where Luke and Emma grew up as friends before they drifted apart, him to college and her to a career. As luke is leaving the office of his therapist where he has been going since the loss of his wife and children to a drunk driver, he sees someone he thinks he knows. It is Emma who is also going after returning to Colorado Springs and the loss of her modeling career when a girl she thinks is a friend disfigures her after losing a modeling contract to her, with that she has also lost her husband who has left her because she is "no longer perfect".  As the story progresses and Luke and Emma get to know each other better, there are problems in Emma's family. A mother who has not forgiven her for what the mother considers her past sinful life and the anger she and Emma feel towards each other.As the book progresses the reader is left to wonder if Luke and Emma will be able to forget the past and find love, will Emma and her mother forgive each other and what is the big secret Emma is keeping from Luke?Overall this is a good, enjoyable story about two people and how they, their friends and family handle life.
