Another winning story in this second installment of the Mallory family. Jack and Becky were both broken souls who found love, acceptance, and emotional healing in each other. I felt their pain and believed they were two halves of a whole. I would have liked the author to expand the ending a bit more--it was just a tad abrupt--but overall it was a romantic, sensitive, and satisfying tale. 3.8 stars.
