Customer Reviews
Hallmark all the way
It’s an effortless read, very pleasant and engaging characters, but the fact that the story encompasses 20 years, I felt at times that there could have been more depth to some of the characters - I didn’t feel like I knew them well enough for that length of time. But it was a well-written feel-good story.
Excellent writing, a cut above the rest!
Loved the strong female characters. The “love story” unfolded on so many levels - friendships, families, communities of all kinds, and the romance simmering below surface of the male and female leads. This was a great story, with romantic elements.
Full Circle
I received this book for free in exchange for a review. I really liked the story about a pregnant teenager who is cast out of her family and is left to fend for herself. She succeeds beyond her wildest dreams and builds a business empire which ultimately saves her hometown. Along the way she gathers loyal friends and eventually reunites with her parents.
