I've always loved reading about strong women, and this Portia, although fictional, is a strong one. "Moving on with Brock" tells the tale of loss, tragedy and pain and how one woman was able to overcome all of that and find love again.The love story was a heartfelt one. I found myself wanting Portia to be happy, simply because of the hurt and pain that she had endured. Losing your husband and unborn child can never be an easy thing. I can just imagine the therapy that I myself would need had I, or should I experience something like that.Having to reinvent herself and get on with her life was something that Portia needed to do and Ross provided an avenue in which she could do that.With her helpful friend who formed a vital part of her support system, Portia was able to take a step, move on, and begin a new life.Ross' depiction of the characters seems heartfelt. I could almost feel the need for Portia to get her life back emanate through the pages. It is something you as a reader will hope for, and, when Brock comes along you will rejoice and hope that she gets what she truly deserves.I think that this book can be used by women who may have experienced loss of their romantic loved ones, to gain some comfort and new need for something like the steamy romance that develops between Portia and Brock. Ross writes in such a way that would give any woman hope for something even close to what Portia found in her new relationship.
