What an odd read. Mom gave me this book last summer as something to enjoy over a visit to her house. I started it and didn't fall in love, but when the book got lost during our move this fall I somehow really regretted not finishing the story. So when I unpacked a box and it popped up, I was glad... And in the end, it was really a very good story with a heart-warming finish.

This is a great story about an aunt, a Broadway star, goes home to care for her Downs Syndrome, while his mom (her twin) and her hubby take a dream vacation. Geneva is taken on a new journey through the love of her nephew, and a new man!

Yoikes! Landvik is one of my favorite authors. Reading this book, I wondered if she is actually the author. This is a pretty bad romance, with an overly self-centered heroine suddenly thrust into taking full responsibility for her Down Syndrome nephew, for one month, who is going to teach her the true meaning of life. And there is the misunderstood divorced father of a little girl...
Sure, we can find this plot line over and over again in books, but the interest comes from the individual story, the author's voice and style. Those things just were not there for me with this book. I couldn't even finish it, and didn't need to, as it was just too predictable.
