Review

Author Laurel Blount has written a sweet, family centered, and hometown feel book that readers will enjoy.  A big focus in this story is a child dealing with the death of her mother and working with a therapist to get her talking again.  This is a charming feel-good read that causes readers to reflect on their own families and their relationships with them.  Especially with children.  And of course readers would be disappointed if there wasn’t a touch of sweet romance.  The characters and their lives come to life as readers dive into this delightful, engaging, quick read.
