I'll start by saying, I will be including details of the book, but I don't think any spoilers. However, read as if you've been warned, if it concerns you. Hearts In Motion Starts with Abby Pimm's rescued animals, talking to one another about Abby's concerns with her financial issues. She's responsible for her sister after her parents died,and a business start up with a friend. One of my favorite childhood stories is Dr. Dolittle, so I found this charming. While the animals can't talk to Abby they sure try. Next we are introduced to Holden Ramsay, who's ex-wife's family dropped on his door step a 6 year old girl, they believe to be his. As he scrabbles to find childcare, one of the best parts of the book happened. He asks his aunt for help and she proceeds to suggest Abby from her personal knowledge of her needs. Holden thinks it's a set up and when he tells his aunt so the following quote happens: (It would be an awful match. Like putting together a butterfly and a toad.  "Obviously I'm not the butterfly." You would hate being a butterfly. You'd rather be a toad. The king of your own lily pad. She beamed at him. "You know I love you,darling." ) While those are the moments that made me smile the book does get serious and deals with Holden and his desire to find love threw head or heart. Also the responsibility of keeping his business growing and  the responsibility of the over 400 employee's in his company. Abby's struggles to trust in love after loss and making a go of new business start up. There's few other characters and how that intersects their lives. I found the book struck and excellent balance between fun and serious to make a wonderful story.
