I wanted to write this review before the tears dried. At first I thought that the book was just a filler for me. I got it for $.99 and it would be something to lull me to sleep at night. That's how the book started. It was a cut and dried story as old as romance novels, girl meets boy, they move apart to success in their fields. They meet again in later life back in their home town where he's raising his adorable son all alone. They fall back in love and live  happily ever after. Except that's not how it happened and this morning I had to pick it up and finish it. Now I'm going to find more of Ms Pence's books to see if all of them make me care so much about the characters she creates. That's what books are about for me. I'm actually in the middle of rereading one of Suzanne Brockmann's tension filled Troubleshooters books and picked this up because those aren't something to read before going to sleep. Instead of picking that back up this morning and getting to work, it's an audio book so I can enjoy it and still feel that I'm getting a day's work done, I picked this back up and read through to the end. It's mid morning and I wanted to thank Ms Pence by writing this review before going back to my real life of packing up boxes and deciding what to keep and what to throw out. I don't need to tell you about the plot, you can read that somewhere else, I need to tell you about the characters and the setting in small town Northern California. The book took me there and the characters made me feel for them, and for me that's what good fiction is all about.
