I enjoyed this book immensely. The story was very unusual, but engaging. It was heart-warming to see the growth in the main character, Jessie, as she was able to recapture a less self-destructive way of living and thinking. I loved the characters in the book. They were interesting people. The story dealt with real issues that we all face—death of a parent, forgiveness, growing up and growing old, facing our deepest fears, and being able to give and accept love.

Drama, romance, suspense. I enjoyed this story very much.

This is a fabulous story with enough twists to keep it interesting and a great ending! Loved it.

Very nice romance with some mystery thrown in. A very good read.

This was a wonderful book. I just loved it. Author is husband of the equally great author Beverly Lewis, and was stunned that both of them should be equally great as authors. A wonderful story.

Jessica and her friend Andy were childhood friends, until tragedy struck. Circumstances yrs later brings them back together, all the while Jessica is on a quest to figure out what really happened....

This was an easy reading book. Interesting and thought provoking.

Unfortunately, this book was poorly bound and has one loose page.
