I picked this book up because I'm scheduled to read and review The Trouble With Flying in July and this is the prequel novella to that book. I thought it would give me a taste of the author's writing style and hopefully a bit of a background for the book coming up.I enjoyed this story. Julia has a secret that she was willing to leave everyone she loved to protect. 10 months later she returns home for her mother's surprise 50th birthday party and walks right back to the people she left behind, hurting and not understanding. It is an emotional journey and I thought the author was able to cover a lot of ground in such a short book. I felt like I had a good feel for the characters. For the most part, Julia is accepted back with open arms. Her family loves her. Forgiveness is always a good message. Loved the South Africa setting and the word differences that always make me smile. They remind me of my very British grandparents. :)There are a couple instances of mild swearing.I'm looking forward to reading "The Trouble with Flying" next month. The book focus's on Julia's sister, Sarah.Oh, and I do want to know what was written on the bottom of the cast, Rachel Morgan. :)
