Summary: A warm and wonderful book not to be missed!
Review: Allie Bennett has some serious issues to deal with from her childhood. Now that her mother has passed away, she learns that her father also died and that means she has inherited the family home in Dublin, Kentucky. She has to go back to see if she can finally piece together the mystery of why her perfect family fell apart when she was nine. Walking back into her family home, Allie is literally struck by the memories of the year her older sister Megan ran away and then was killed in an automobile accident. Shortly after they buried Megan, Allie's mother took her away in the middle of the night. She never saw her father again. Now she is obsessed with discovering what really happened back then, even though the memories coming back to her and the stories she hears from the people who remember it best are disturbing. Stephen Whittaker has a vested interest in helping Allie come to terms with her memories and moving on as quickly as possible. That's his plan from the moment she arrives in town. Unfortunately, he didn't plan to be so drawn to her. He didn't plan to get as caught up in her quest as she was nor did he expect to fall in love with her. The chemistry between these characters is so real, you can feel the heat right through the pages. And just as real is the chilling tingle that runs up your spine as the fifteen-year-old mystery begins to unravel. Teresa has skillfully intertwined romance and suspense to create a wonderful story with just the right taste of the south. Her gift for creating memorable characters will leave Stephen and Allie on your mind long after you finish the last page.

Summary: A poignant family drama
Review: In Dublin, Kentucky, nine-year-old Allie Bennett is stunned and frightened when her mother Janet wakes her up to make her leave with her in the middle of the night. Janet is leaving her husband, who pleads with her to stay. He especially don't want his wife to take his only living child away from him. Six months ago, the Bennetts older daughter Megan ran away and died in a Georgia car accident. Allie never saw her father again. Fifteen years later, Janet has recently died. Allie is going through her mother's papers when she learns her dad died two years ago and the letters she sent him were never mailed. Knowing her mother lied to her over the years and her father never came to see her although he had her address leaves Allie desperate for closure by learning what destroyed their happy home. Allie returns to Dublin where she meets her next door neighbor Stephen Whittaker who offers to help her learn the truth. As Allie begins to fall in love with Stephen, she wonders if he and his family were part of the problem that ripped her parents apart. UNBREAK MY HEART is a poignant family drama that works on several levels. Allie is the key to the plot with her deep need for understanding if she is to go on with her life. The "mystery" has several twists and adds to the growing tension. Teresa Hill ties everything together in a gut- wrenching drama that will provide the best-selling author a new spot on the lists.

Review: This is the first Teresa Hill book I've read, and I have to say it will probably be my last. However, from the rest of the reviews, I'm in the minority. I found the language to be stilted and awkward. It's hard to believe that this isn't the first novel TH has written. If that was the case one could almost excuse the sappy story and hope she did better next time around. Not for me. Buy a used one - don't pay full price.
