Why do I cry each time I finish a Viola Shipman story? Wade Rouse, wo writes under his grandmother's name tells the most heartwarming stories! Families. relationships, small things that mean so much. It's hard to understand how he pulls at your heartstrings about things you never thought mattered. This is my fourth book, and I have loved each one. A woman's fondest memories were of growing up and spending summers at her grandparent's summer cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. Her life has been totally upended, her husband leaves her, her son is going off to college, she is tired of her high pressure job-and she just wants to turn the summer cottage into an inn. The townspeople all remember her, and have fond memories of her family being in that cottage for many generations. Check it out to see of the dream becomes a reality!
