I am RE-posting this book. I give it 5 stars easily!!! It was impossible to put down... literally!! I was up into the wee morning hours reading this book!! Mitchard is at her best with character development, and character dialogue, and all the different twists and turns in this story make it TOP NOTCH !! Mitchard explores many different "threads" in this novel... such as, the age factor between men and women in a relationship... what if the man is younger and the woman a little older ? Can the relationship work? Also, what it's like to be a widow raising a child on your own, and what it's like trying to raise that child and also start up and run your own business? This story is all about family relationships, too , and the importance of a circle of supportive , good friends when
crises and challenges come. Most importantly, this story is about the strenths and weaknesses and foibles we all share as human beings, and how, when you get right down to it, LOVE is what REALLY MATTERS !! A wonderful read !!!!!!!!

I love Jacquelyn Mitchard's book but this one was awful!

It took forever for the book to start developing and I kept saying to myself....yea, yea...who cares?

I was very, very dissappointed by this book. Read her other books like Theory of Relativity or The Most Wanted.

I have read good books from author, but this was not one of them.

It was lame, predictable, annoyingly cute in places. I was very disappointed.

First time with this author and I am hooked! This is the best written and intelligent story of romance that I have found after 2 years of reading constant romance stories from a multitude of authors, I highly recommend this story! The story follows a year in the life of a widowed women with a young son, what folows is a very involved story of her life and times.

True's Birthday and all her friends have come to make it a joyous event on a snowy night. But in her heart she can't be completely joyous. Her husband has passed away and she is having a hard time getting over this. But an accident on the night of her Birthday will give True the oppertunity to let love back in, if she will let it. This was a beautiful story, love, loss, grief, reclaiming life again. I found it sad, refreshing, and down to earth, & at the end it pick me & left me loving this read. This author, as in her other novels, The Deep End of the Ocean, and The Theory of Relativity, has created another wonderful memorable read.
