Shelby and Dean Davis are a very touching couple.Dean, the hunky ex-military man come's into the story a bit of a broken man. We immediately see what a levelheaded, supportive, and loving wife Shelby is. Their lives have recently gone from structural Army life, to make do civilians. Shelby works at a local Dairy Queen and Dean is still dancing around his guilt, offering little support to his family. I actually didn't like Dean in the beginning of this story. He struck me as a very selfish man.There was a point in the story when I almost didn't think the author was going to be able to redeem this man, but she did so beautifully. Guilt is an emotion that eats at people from the inside out, and Dean carried his hard. I loved the scene in this book that caused Dean to truly evaluate himself. It was very touching and I would elaborate but that would spoil the moment for those who haven't yet read this delightfully touching story.Shelby is an astounding wife and mother. She's keen to see what's going on under the surface with her family, but wisely chooses when to speak and when not too. One day at work, she gets an unexpected surprise that turns out to be just the life changing event they all needed. When Shelby is unexpected hospitalized, Dean turns into a new man. He and Morgan mend the rift in their relationship, his job is going well, and he has meaning in his life again.The family grows close again once Shelby comes home and the touching little surprise at the end will leave a tear in your eye wishing there were more.There's a tiny little part in this story where Miss McLeod leaves us hanging. Cara, the nurse that Shelby becomes close with has a conversation with her husband that Shelby can't help but overhear and the side she heard didn't sound good. She wants to reach out to her friend but the timing is bad, she's just getting ready to leave the hospital.Is there a story with Cara and Kevin coming soon? yes?
