This is a companion novella to the Westcott series, coming between books 6 and 7, so it should really be numbered 6.5, not 7. If someone at PBS can figure out how to list this correctly, it would probably be most helpful to all readers of the series.
It is very confusing to see two different books labeled as Book 7.

I'm so glad Matilda gets her happily ever after! This is a second-chance, later-in-life romance that's sweet, emotional (more than a few tears shed), and once past behavior is explained, uncomplicated. I wasn't expecting novella length, but it gets to the point, which is much more satisfying than the slow pace that plagues a lot of the other Westcott stories.
Sweet, charming tale of love in later life. I found it a bit improbable in some aspects but I enjoyed it. The novella is only 150 pages long; the rest of the book contains a letter from the author about the Westcott series and excerpts from the other novels and the updated family tree (which I had to refer to frequently).
