Max, never a healthy person, knew that his wife would surely outlive him. Sadly, this wasn't the case, since his wife, Hanna, had passed away because of cancer. He missed everything about her, from her bossiness to how she was so strong willed. Depressed and living with his dog, Max just didn't know why his life turned out like this.
Chancy and Max, from two different generations with two distinctive attitudes, find themselves in the same boat -- and will soon be in the same home.
At first, Max's decision to let Chancy stay with him was for him to be able to keep the home he and his wife shared a life in. But, soon he will discover that this decision will benefit the both of them, since they each now have someone to help them cope.
Their strong personalities will clash, a strong bond will overcome them, and a new life for each of them will blossom.
Heartwarming and sentimental, PAPER HEARTS will leave a wonderful impression on those who are willing to enter the lives of two vulnerable and lovable characters. Debrah Williamson is a storyteller who can make her readers feel the emotions that these characters are going through. A lovely novel that should be shared and passed down.

I can't rave enough about this book! This was such a heartwarming, marvelous, involving read -- a true Hidden Gem of a book! Poignant drama about two lost souls finding each other and letting themselves be a part of life again. I had never read this author's work before; this was a book that I stumbled upon and now it is a complete mystery to me why this book is not known to more people! Beautiful writing, wonderful characterizations, and filled with hope. Looking for a life-affirming, realistic yet optimistic family drama, look no further!
