This novel has great characters, plot and town! I love how this town pulls together no matter what! I hope Debbie Macomber takes us back to Buffalo Valley someday.

It was good, but it left me wanting more in the Dakota Series. It seems like it wanted to go on, but it didn't. Maybe she is going to write more in the series?? Beth

This is yet another awsome story by Debbie Macomber. Keep them coming!!

I'm really going to miss these characters! I came to love this little town. Thanks for sharing Debbie.
