“How do you repair the seemingly unrepairable? That really is the basis of this book. The tragedies of life encroach on these characters in such a way that you, along with them just can’t seem to find a way out of the path that each of them has taken by choice or by circumstance. This book is at times gut wrenching and heart breaking but it is also life and love affirming. So how do you repair the seemingly unrepairable? Read this book and find out.” – Amazon Review

“This book wasn’t like any other romance I’ve read. It grabbed my interest from the beginning and then took me on an emotional ride that kept drawing me back to the story when I really should have been doing other things! Some tough emotional parts, but I liked that… it was an honest story, told from the heart. Looking forward to the next story in the series.” – Amazon Review
