Book #8 in the Mitchell series -- I have to tell you I love these books.  They are easy to read and hard to put down!  But for this one, you will need some tissues handy, the beginning was sad and I had a very emotional response.  I did surprise myself when I was on Heather's side - after her past and hating her in other books, I was surprised when I was routing for her in this story!  And now a bit about the book...It has been about 5 years since we last visited with the Mitchell clan.  Heather, who almost destroyed Ty and Miranda, is coming home to bury her mother.  She is a single mother with a 5 year old son and has an on again off again boyfriend who happens to be the father of her son in her life.  She is desperately in love with him, but she won't tell him about her past and he won't move forward until he knows.  After the stress of the funeral she finally tells him most of it, but when he discovers the bit she left out, he leaves again.  There is lots of love and tragedy in this book, give it a try and see who Heather makes you feel!Favorite quotes:- As sorry as I was that she'd been through Hell and back, I couldn't condone her lying to me. I was willing to forgive her for everything, if she'd just come clean.- Maybe one day Jessie would be able to be true to me and to himself about what he wanted, but for now, he was too fickle. I couldn't depend on someone that changed their mind every five days.- "My mother told me that if I loved something I should let it go. Jessie, I will never know what your intentions are until I know for sure what I want. I love you so much. I think you know that. Being a family is something that I've always dreamed of. I just can't do it and wonder how we got here. I can't be with you when I feel like it's out of pity."- I should have said that I loved her, but I didn't. I let her walk away without a fight, because it was all I knew how to do.- "...if you love her, fight for her."
