This book is not a light, quick read. It is a provocative and smartly written piece of literature that details the lives and hearts and innermost desires of multiple characters. I enjoyed reading this book because of its complexities and appreciated that this author obviously takes her writing seriously enough to offer us compelling characters. When you read this book, you will no doubt find something to identify with. At some point in our lives, all of us must face some sort of loss. This book gives us, in beautiful detail a look at what hope is and why we should never lose it.This author is very adept at giving vivid descriptions and, as I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, I loved that reading her work could transport me back to that area although I have not been there for a number of years. I liked that this book was not a simple modern romance like so many cookie cutter books I have seen already this year. I would have liked to have seen some of the main characters' thoughts expanded upon a little here and there. I think occasionally authors tend to forget that we only see the side of the character that they pen, and are not privy to what the author was thinking when they created them, but regardless, this book was well written and worth the read. Recommended.
