I didn't realized this was one of Carr's earlier books. This is very different from her Virgin River series. It isn't really romance. It is more about four wrtiers who are picking up the pieces of their lives after the death of a friend, who was the glue to their group.

What amazes me about this book is that the characters are not perfect. They do selfish things, think mean thoughts, and are frustrating. Yet, I couldn't put it down. There were parts that are very difficult to read like Beth's denial with her abusive husband or Ceola's manipulative ways. At the end, these four ladies had to find a way to cope with their loss, not just of their friend but their own lives. This story is more about growth than anything else.

I enjoyed the characters' stories even though I can't say I liked them. It was a good read and I shed a few tears. It's not a feel good novel but the end was satisfying.
