This is the second novella in The Vicarage Bench Series and it did not disappoint, I only wished it was longer.It's 1967, in a small town in England where Rhett Parks has promised to bring his father's body from America to his final resting place near his childhood home. Due to his lonely upbringing Rhett is not a man who cares for anyone, and does whatever he can as long as he can benefit from it.Carrie Temple is a lovingly, shy school teacher who takes people just as they are as she tries to find something good in a bad situation. She never has a negative word for anyone and takes criticism without a thought to defend herself.As Rhett is sitting on the bench outside the vicarage trying to get past the last few days Carrie approaches heading for the rose bushes behind him. He doesn't want to be bothered with anyone right now. He hears a whimper behind him, but tries to ignore it. As Carrie tries to sit from dizziness he acts the gentleman and picks up the rose she dropped, sticking his finger with the rose and goes unconscious.Carrie comes to and soon realizes she is now sharing her body with this unhappy man. They are not getting along and sharing her body with this man is not working at all, but as time goes on their feelings start changing and they get closer with each other.Can Rhett teach her to start sticking up for herself and tell people what she really thinks? Can Carrie teach him what it is to care for someone other than himself and learn to love?Join Rhett and Carrie as they try to figure out what happened and try to fix it so he can return to his own body and see if they can have a real relationship while not sharing the same one.
