Check out the full review Kritters Ramblings

Allie is a young mother who has been widowed due to war and is trying to make a new home for her and her son without the memories that linger in their previous hometown. She returns to a lake house from her childhood where there are a few people who knew her before this most recent tragedy in her life.

The minor characters had a story of their own which added to the story, but didn't distract. The owner of the local diner is a recent empty nester and is really feeling the loneliness without her daughter at home. Jax is a mom of three with the fourth on the way and has kept a secret from her husband and she must confront this to move her marriage forward. I enjoyed having these full stories settle within Allie's story.
