Summary: So moving, I bought it three times!
Review: I read part of this book in as a young teenager, then accidentally left it with my aunt, who lived out of state. I couldn't get the book out of my mind! I finally found it in a quaint little used book store, eagerly re-reading it, finding it to meet and exceed all my expectations. It is truly a love story like no other. This story concentrates on the heroine, not on cheesy, steamy love scenes (although you'll melt after reading the one explosive love scene that the book DOES offer), and it tells a very uplifting story about a woman who overcomes her past and her fears. Caroline Shaw comes from "the wrong side of the tracks," stumbling into a world to which she doesn't belong until she meets, and ultimately marries the love of her life, James Goddard. His parents, though attending the wedding, refuse to acknowledge his marriage, and ultimately blame Caroline for a tragedy beyond her control. She rises above their hatred and accusations to create the life she and her son deserve, with the creation of Romance, Inc., a store which honors James's memory. After relocating that book, I lent it to a friend who never returned it, and it has burned into my memory, so yes, I've bought it again, for a third time, along with a spare that I sent to another friend who has been looking for it for an eternity! I'd highly recommend it to anyone. But I'm NOT selling MY copy!
