Summary: Anderson does it again!
Review: Catherine Anderson writes wonderful romances that are always compelling. She does a lovely job of developing Ellie and Tucker both so that they are interesting and sympathetic characters. They've suffered a devastating loss in their married lives that neither realize is impacting themselves and their children. The guilt both feel about the incident make them think that divorce is the answer to the problem. In the end, their children join forces to bring their parents together.

This is a perfect beach read, it is a lovely story that ends on a perfect note.

Summary: Not my favorite of Anderson's...bit still a good read.
Review: I absolutely love Catherine Anderson and although this will not be among my favorites of hers, it was still a good read, with strong characters. Tucker and Ellie Grant divorced after the death of their oldest son, whom each felt guilt and blame over the tragic accident that killed him. 3 years later, the two remaining sons, run away into the mountains refusing to come back until their parents get back together, forcing Tucker and Ellie to spend time together tracking the boys to the place where they used to camp as a family. All along the way, they fight their old feelings, and discover some unknown truths about each other and thier family.....This story has some highly emotional moments which is the strength of the book. Usually, I re-read all of Anderson's books at least once, but for some reason, this one didn't pack the punch for me that her other stories have in the past. Still a good read, and one that I would recommend.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I rarely review books, but could not let the opportunity pass to comment on "Always in My Heart". I read this book prior to reading any other reviews, and was surprised by the critical editorial review listed above.

This is an excellent book with very well developed characters. Yes, a lot of the book is discussing the emotions of the main charachters, but that is what sets this book apart from many others.

If you enjoy a book with more depth than "fluff", this is an excellent book to read. This was my first Catherine Anderson novel and since I have purchased several of her previous books.

Enjoy!

Summary: A Wonderful Tear-Jerker
Review: If you want a book that is impossible to put down, makes you cry, but still has a happy ending, this is the one for you. If you like stories of re-united love, you will definately enjoy this book. I also recommend other Catherine Anderson novels - may be a bit of the too-good-to-be-true running through them, but what is fiction for?

Summary: Depressing
Review: If you want a book that is too long, too tragic, and too depressing .... this book is for you.

Summary: A Wonderful Tear-Jerker
Review: Tucker and Ellie Grant were high school sweethearts who married and had three children. However, the death of one of their kids led to the destruction of the relationship between Tucker and Ellie though their split is amiable. However, their two surviving sons Zach and Kody believe that their parents still love each in spite of the evidence that both have moved on with their lives in different ways with both dating others. Zach and Kody decide that Tucker and Ellie need a catalyst to bring them together just as the tragedy tore them apart.

The younger generation Grants run off to the Baxter Wilderness Area where the family used to camp out in happier times, but not before informing their father that they will remain in the Oregon woods until Tucker and Ellie come back to one another. Accompanying Tucker and Ellie on their trek is their current significant others though neither are welcomed. Will a family formed out of love find its way back to each other or will this incident place the final exclamation point to what once was?

ALWAYS IN MY HEART is an emotional family saga that focuses on the aftermath of a tragic event on the survivors. The story line succeeds because the Grant quartet seem very real as each one internally accepts the blame for Sammy's accidental death. Fans of passionate relationship dramas will want to read Catherine Anderson's novel that emphasiszes the need to remain open with your loved ones if one is to begin to heal.
