Review: If you feel like a captivating read -- I recommend this book. I was totally caught up in the characters of Lambert, PA. It isn't about one love story, it's about three -- plus the love between mother and child and the love between friends. Warning; it will make you FEEL and probably cry. Especially if you are a woman, most especially if you are a mother. I really was delighted with it. It's one of those books I will keep to loan out and re-read occasionally.

Summary: An excellent read.
Review: It really exercises the mind beyond the norm. It's sad, amusing, poignant, and all together wonderful. I'd recommend it to ANYONE at all!

Review: Janie Shoup's story so touched my heart I bought it for all my girl friends for Christmas. It will make you laugh, cry, dare to hope, discover you can believe again, and wish the story wouldn't end. It transports you through a vast range of emotions, reveals the histories of generations, transcends time and makes you want to fall in love. A sublime read...literary utopia!

Summary: such a nice start.
Review: the book took an easy out, all around. it was a very easy read. the story was very easy without real conflict or struggle. the main character is always magically rescued. she wants the house but hasn't the money; oh well that's okay her foster mother has been pursuing a lawsuit over the twins death and guess what? the other party is offering to settle. there is the predictable scene with the stalker girlfriend; all cleared up after exchanging three sentences with her boyfriend.(oh, I'm so ashamed I could ever doubt you) the intriguing ghost angle--dropped without being used. All interesting lines in the plot were quickly dropped in favor of a happy, happy, ending. Gee. just like real life. I know some people like that sort of happy sweet perfect ending after no conflict, but I was so disappointed after all the good reviews. if the author could just have made the book so much as fifty more pages and actually had something happen to the characters it would be so worth reading.
