Rating: Summary: Amazing work for a new writer Review: This book is amazingly well written for a first novel. A mix between a romance novel and a coming of age story, it is both touching and joyful. Lucy Hatch's husband dies in an accident, and Lucy moves back home to recover. Shortly after she arrives, Lucy meets a man that "rocks her world" literally and figuratively. Most of the story focuses on Lucy's processing what love has been for, what is has not been, and what she wants it to be. I don't typically read romance novels, but stayed with this one because of the depth of Lucy's feelings for her husband, her family, and the new man in her life. It would be easy to assume that Lucy's marriage was loveless, and that she finds true love at last. Underlying this all is the concept that one can only love someone as best and as far as they will let you. I recommend this book highly, and can't wait for Marsha Moyer's next one.
Rating: Summary: This book is why reading is so enjoyable.... Review: This book will take you right to the doorstep of Lucy Hatch and there will be no turning back as you become part of her world. Once done with this book you can slip right into the sequel, "The Last of the Honky-Tonk Angels", without missing a beat. I can't wait for the next book....please, Ms. Moyer, tell me there will be a third book with Lucy and Ash?
Rating: Summary: Moyer "Hatches" a Hit! Review: This is a wonderful read - be sure to keep your "sweetie" handy for parts of it, though. Both Lucy and Ash are so real you feel as though you know them - and don't we all wish we had an Aunt Dove and a sister-in-law like Geneva to fall back on. I'm just starting the sequel and find it just as entrancing as "Second Coming." Please tell me that a movie's being made...
